At least 18 people were injured in explosions that rocked Damascus during French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to the Syrian capital. The blasts occurred near a hotel where Macron was staying, shortly after he arrived at the presidential palace to meet with Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa.
The meeting between Macron and al-Sharaa took place at the presidential palace, and the explosions happened shortly after. The blasts were reported by state television and other sources, with some discrepancy in the exact location and timing of the events.

Macron is the first major EU leader to visit the Syrian capital since Bashar al-Assad's regime. The incident may have implications for the security and stability of the region.
The cause of the explosions is not yet clear, and it is uncertain how the incident will affect the relationship between France and Syria. The Syrian government has not yet commented on the explosions or the measures it will take to prevent similar incidents in the future.
As the investigation into the explosions continues, the people of Damascus and the international community are watching to see how the incident will impact the security and stability of the region.
