BREAKING:Twin blasts ‘hit Damascus suburb’

Two blasts have rocked the south Damascus suburb of Sayyida Zeinab, resulting in a number of casualties, Syrian state TV reports.

At least one of the attacks was caused by a car bomb.

Sayyida Zeinab is home to Syria’s holiest Shia Muslim shrine.

The neighbourhood has been hit by a number of attacks. Two bombings earlier this year – both claimed by the so-called Islamic State – killed more than 150 people.
