Twin blasts `hit Damascus suburb`
Two blasts have rocked the south Damascus suburb of Sayyida Zeinab, resulting in a number of casualties, Syrian state TV reports.
At least one of the attacks was caused by a car bomb.

Sayyida Zeinab is home to Syria`s holiest Shia Muslim shrine.

The neighbourhood has been hit by a number of attacks. Two bombings earlier this year - both claimed by the so-called Islamic State - killed more than 150 people.
