BEIRUT // Syrian state-run media said two car bombs have exploded in a Damascus suburb, inflicting several casualties.
The Britain-based Observatory for Human Rights said 20 people were killed in the blasts. The activist group relies on reports from the ground.
The Sana state news agency said the explosions this morning targeted Damascus' eastern Jaramana suburb, which is mostly populated by Christians and Druze.
Damascus suburbs have become opposition strongholds since March last year, when the uprising began.
At least 40,000 people have been killed in the civil war, according to activists.
