DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Explosions rocked Damascus on Tuesday as France’s president met with his Syrian counterpart in a landmark visit, wounding at least 18 people, Syria's Interior Ministry said.
It was the second blast to rock the capital in a few days, and a setback for the country’s new president as he welcomed his first visit from a western leader since ousting longtime dictator Bashar al-Assad. Syria’s new rulers have wrestled with outbreaks of violence as they work to assert control, but the capital has been been largely peaceful.
Emmanuel Macron

Explosions have rocked Damascus as France’s president met his Syrian counterpart in a landmark visit, wounding at least four people.
Emmanuel Macron had entered the presidential palace to meet Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa when the explosions happened near the Four Seasons Hotel.
Syrian media reported that Mr Macron was staying at the Four Seasons. The French president’s office said he was safe and that his meeting with Mr Al-Sharaa was continuing. Mr Macron is the first major Western leader to visit Syria since Mr Al-Sharaa came to power and his visit comes before he heads to a Nato summit in Ankara, Turkey.
Mr Macron played a major role in pushing Europe and the United States to drop most sanctions on Syria. He arrived in the country on Monday night with an economic delegation, and is scheduled to s…

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) —Explosions rocked Syria's capital on Tuesday and injured at least 18 people as France's president met with his counterpart in a landmark visit to the country rebuilding from years of civil war, Syria's Interior Ministry said.
It was the second attack in Damascus in a week and a setback for President Ahmad al-Sharaa as he welcomed the first major Western leader to visit since the ouster of longtime dictator Bashar Assad by insurgent groups in late 2024. Syria's new rulers have wrestled with outbreaks of violence as they assert control, but the capital had been largely peaceful.
French President Emmanuel Macron was in the presidential palace when the explosions happened. An official from the Elysee Palace said he was safe and the meeting with al-Sharaa continued, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss Macron's security.
No group immediately claimed responsibility.
"Nothing can smother the aspiration of Syrian women and men to live in a fully sovereign, safe, pluralistic, and united Syria," Macronsaid on Xhours later. "This morning I met Syria in all it…

Bombs have exploded near the hotel where Emmanuel Macron was staying in Syria, but the French president did not hear the explosions, the Elysee says, and he met Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa soon afterwards.
The blasts on Tuesday underscore the major security challenges in Syria, where Macron is the first head of state of a European Union country to visit since rebels led by Sharaa toppled Bashar al-Assad in 2024.
A Reuters witness heard explosions in the vicinity and saw smoke rising. Roads were sealed off and security measures were implemented, the security source said.
The Elysee said the blasts were not audible from the presidential motorcade and a Reuters journalist with the press group accompanying Macron did not hear the blast or see any commotion during the French president's morning events.
State television later reported that Macron and Sharaa had met at the Syrian Presidential Palace.
Macron's visit has highlighted Syria's geopolitical transformation under Sharaa, a former al-Qaeda commander who has established close ties with Western and Middle Eastern powers that shunned Assad, as he seeks to rebuild a country shattered by 13 years of war.

Explosions reported in Damascus near French President Macron's hotel
Several explosions were reported in central Damascus on Tuesday after explosive devices reportedly detonated near the hotel where French President Emmanuel Macron is staying during his official visit to Syria.
There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage, and the circumstances surrounding the explosions remained unclear,according to Reuters.
Macron arrived in Damascus on Monday for the first visit by a Western European head of state since the fall of Bashar al-Assad in late 2024. During the visit, he met Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa for talks focused on political transition, reconstruction, regional security and expanding bilateral ties.
The two leaders also toured the historic Umayyad Mosque and Damascus' UNESCO-listed Old City before al-Sharaa hosted Macron and the French delegation for a dinner in the Syrian capital.
