Syrian security forces detonated leftover munitions as part of a training exercise in the capital Damascus yesterday, a security source said, creating an explosion that was heard across the city.
The source from Syria’s General Security Service, which is broadly responsible for security matters, told Reuters no-one was wounded in the controlled blast.
Residents had heard a loud blast and saw a plume of smoke rising in the western neighbourhoods of the city in the evening.
