The blasts rocked on Sunday al-Tin Street in Sayeda Zeinab neighborhood, where the holy shrine of Hazrat Zeinab (SA) is located. SANA quoted local sources as saying that terrorists detonated a car laden with a large quantity of explosives. The bombing was followed by two other blasts after people had gathered at the site of the first explosion.
The Daesh Takfiri group claimed responsibility for the attacks, Amaq news agency, which supports the terrorists, reported.
Daesh also assumed responsibility for last month’s twin blasts that rocked the same area.Some 60 people were killed and 110 others injured after a bomber set off his explosive belt on January 31, PRESS TV reports.
Sunday’s explosions came only hours after twin bomb attacks claimed by Daesh Takfiri terrorists targeted a residential neighborhood in Syria’s western city of Homs. At least 57 people were killed and 100 others injured in the blasts.
The recent bomb attacks came as the Syrian army has been making significant gains against Takfiri militants on several fronts, particularly in the northern province of Aleppo.
