The explosion was caused by a bomb planted on the minibus, according to Syrian officials who spoke to Reuters. The officials did not specify the type of explosive device used or who might be responsible.
The attack comes amid ongoing conflict in the region, with various armed groups operating in and around Damascus. The lack of a claim of responsibility leaves open the question of who is behind the attack.
