Iran Press/ Middle East: According to the Syrian state news agency SANA, one person was killed and two wounded in the explosion of two devices near Anas bin Malik mosque in the Nahr Aisha area of southern Damascus.
There were no immediate details on the blasts near the mosque, where Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has attended prayers in the past, or the casualties but the blast caused material damage at the site of the explosion.
Syrians go to the polls Sunday to elect a new parliament as the Damascus government grapples with international sanctions and a crumbling economy after retaking large parts of the war-torn country.
Assad's Baath party and its allies are expected to win most of the parliament's 250 seats in the first elections since 2016.
