Syria: No deaths from 'Duma explosion'... Final toll 14 injured - Sarmad

The Damascus countryside health directorate announced that the final toll from the bombing that targeted a passenger bus in the city of Jobar yesterday, Thursday, reached 14 injuries, following earlier reports from the Ministry of Health stating that two people had been killed and several others wounded.

The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) quoted Damascus countryside health director Dr. Tawfiq Hushaba as saying that the final number of casualties from the Jobar explosion in the Damascus countryside stood at 14 injured, seven of whom were transported to Damascus Hospital. He clarified that three of these cases are critical and require surgical intervention, while confirming that no deaths had been recorded.

Hushaba explained that after the injured arrived at Damascus Hospital and their conditions were monitored, it became clear that the body parts transported by the Civil Defense belonged to patients already hospitalized elsewhere and did not represent fatalities.

He added that the body parts included three limbs, one of which was a complete limb. Initially, they were estimated to belong to deceased individuals, but medical follow-up and verification revealed that they resulted from injuries. He noted that the owners of these limbs are currently undergoing surgical operations at Damascus Hospital.
