At Least Seven Injured in Blast in Syrian Town


(MENAFN) An explosion struck the town of Sabina, located southwest of Syria’s capital, Damascus, on Wednesday, injuring at least seven people, according to a state-run news outlet. Authorities are actively investigating the incident to determine its origin.

The news outlet reported that Civil Defense teams rescued seven wounded individuals from the debris at the Sabina silos site, transferring them to Al-Mujtahid and Al-Salam hospitals in Damascus for treatment.

The state news agency has yet to release information regarding the timing or cause of the blast, leaving it unclear whether it resulted from an accident, sabotage, or other factors. Early visuals shared by the news outlet showed significant damage to the silos complex.

Meanwhile, other media outlets, referencing footage and eyewitness accounts, stated the explosion occurred near local mills and coincided with reports of a drone flight over Damascus. Some sources speculated the area might have been used for storage, though no official confirmation has been provided.
