DAMASCUS, Feb. 25 (Xinhua) -- One civilian was killed and another one wounded on Tuesday when an explosive device ripped through a car in the capital Damascus, state news agency SANA reported.
The explosive device tore through the vehicle near the Tishreen stadium in Damascus, said SANA. It added that "terrorists" put the explosive under the car.
The target is still unknown but such small scale explosions have taken place more often recently.
On Feb. 20, an explosive device ripped through a pickup truck in the heart of the capital Damascus.
On Feb. 18, five civilians were wounded by a blast caused by an explosive device affixed under a car in the Bab Musalla area.
On Feb. 10, one person was wounded by a similar explosion in the western Damascus' Mazzeh area.
Damascus has remained calm since the army dislodged the last rebel group from the Eastern Ghouta countryside in May 2018. Still, sporadic explosions happen with seemingly random targets.
