Damascus, IRNA – Two bomb blasts reportedly rocked the Syrian capital, Damascus near the Ministry of Higher Education.

The Syrian security forces were stationed near the Ministry of Higher Education and adopted necessary security measures.

Two civilians were injured as a result of the blasts and several cars parked were also damaged.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011.

Damascus says outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorists are the driving factors behind the unrest and deadly violence, but the opposition and the West accuse security forces of being behind the killings.

Tensions have been running high between Syria and Turkey, with Damascus accusing Turkey along with Saudi Arabia and Qatar of backing deadly insurgency that has claimed the lives of many Syrians, including security and Army personnel.
