An explosion was heard in the vicinity of Syria’s capital Damascus and initial reports point to a “terrorist” attack, Syrian state TV reported on Sunday morning.

Syria’s civil war has killed half a million people, forced more than half the country’s pre-war population from their homes and dragged in global and regional powers, reports Reuters.
