A pair of explosions rocked the Syrian capital of Damascus near the downtown Four Seasons hotel, where French President Emmanuel Macron<\/a> was staying during a state visit, Syrian state media reported Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Eighteen people, including four police officers, were injured by improvised explosive devices<\/a> (IEDs) on Tuesday, Syria’s interior ministry reported through state outlet SANA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the ministry, both bombs exploded after security forces had discovered them, “while preparations for the disposal operation were underway.”<\/p>\n

The bombs were placed inside a car and a garbage can near the hotel where Macron was staying during his visit, the first Syrian state visit<\/a> by the leader of a Western country since Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa took over for the now-deposed former President Bashar al-Assad in 2025.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for \u00c9lys\u00e9e Palace said<\/a> Macron was not in his hotel during the explosions and didn’t even hear them. He continued his visit with al-Sharaa, according to both \u00c9lys\u00e9e Palace and SANA.<\/p>\n

While not commenting on the explosions directly, Macron posted a statement on X shortly after the incident.<\/p>\n

“Nothing can smother the aspiration of Syrian women and men to live in a fully sovereign, safe, pluralistic, and united Syria. This morning I met Syria in all its diversity. I saw dignity, courage, and determination. My visit continues,” he wrote.<\/p>\n

Syria’s Ministry of the Interior confirmed the explosions but stressed that they were outside the security perimeter designated for Macron.<\/p>\n

“We confirm that the explosion site is outside the security perimeter designated for the French president\u2019s residence. It posed no direct threat to the residence or the official visit program, which is proceeding as planned,” the ministry announced through SANA.<\/p>\n

Macron is the first Western leader to meet with al-Sharaa in Damascus since he became the country’s president in 2025. Some have criticized Western leaders, including President Donald Trump<\/a>, who hosted al-Sharaa in the White House in November, for normalizing relations with al-Sharaa given his past as a fighter for the al Qaeda terrorist group.<\/p>\n

Tuesday’s explosions in Damascus were also the second and third major blasts in Damascus in less than a week.<\/p>\n

On Monday, France’s government condemned what it called a “terrorist attack” after an explosive device killed at least nine people in a Damascus cafe on July 2.<\/p>\n

Syrian authorities are still investigating the attack and have not publicly ascribed it to any group or individual, according to The Washington Post.<\/a><\/p>\n

Fox News Digital contacted the Syrian Foreign Ministry and \u00c9lys\u00e9e Palace for confirmation and further details.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
