The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which tracks violence in Syria's civil war, said eight police officers were killed in the blast and at least 20 wounded after a vehicle was detonated in a parking lot in the police officers' club.
The last major blast in the Syrian capital occurred on January 31 in a Damascus district where Syria's holiest Shiite Muslim shrine is located. The blast killed more than 70 people and was claimed by ISIS (ISIL or Daesh)
