DAMASCUS, Dec. 16 (Xinhua) -- An explosive device wounded one civilian on Monday when it ripped through his vehicle in Syria's capital of Damascus overnight, state news agency SANA reported.
The explosive device was affixed under the car and went off in the Nahr Aysheh area south of Damascus, said SANA.
SANA branded the explosion as an act of terror, stopping short of giving further details about the targeted person, who, it said, was transported to a hospital nearby.
The capital has remained largely calm since the army secured its vicinity and eastern countryside following the withdrawal of the rebels in May of 2018.
In a separate context, SANA said a number of civilians were wounded in the northern city of Aleppo as a result of a fresh rebel mortar fire on the city from the northwestern countryside of Aleppo.
