At least two people were killed and 14 others wounded on Wednesday in a car bombing and mortar shell attacks in central Damascus.
Syrian regime media said the attack targeted the Damascus Tower area and Maysat Square in the capital.
A shell struck at the tower in the central Marjeh Square district, while the car bomb went off in the northeast of the city.
Regime media blamed the attack on “terrorists”.
Footage showed the shell of a burnt vehicle which turned into a pile twisted metal.
The shells were apparently fired by the ISIS group in the southern part of the city, where the extremists have been battling regime forces for more than two weeks.
"ISIS in southern Damascus has fired rockets intermittently on the capital" since April 19 when pro-regime forces ramped up their fight against the extremists said head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights Rami Abdel Rahman.
