An explosion was heard in Damascus on Tuesday, Syrian state media reported, while an AFP correspondent saw a car ablaze near the Old City.

The official SANA news agency said "an explosion was heard in Damascus, and its nature is being investigated".

The AFP journalist heard a blast before seeing a car burning near a building affiliated with Syria's defence ministry, saying security forces had cordoned off the area.
