An ammunition depot in Damascus exploded Saturday, state media reported, prompting a blast heard by an AFP journalist in the Syrian capital. "An ammunition depot for the Syrian army in western Damascus exploded after a fire in nearby fields started spreading," state news agency SANA said, citing a military source.
The ammunition depot was located in a military zone in Mashrou Dummar, a western suburb, SANA reported. The explosion wounded eight pro-government fighters, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor.
