DAMASCUS, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) -- An explosion in the town of Sabina, southwest of the Syrian capital of Damascus, wounded at least seven people on Wednesday, state-run SANA reported, as authorities worked to determine its cause.

The agency said Civil Defense teams had pulled seven injured individuals from the rubble caused by the explosion at the Sabina silos, transporting them to Al-Mujtahid and Al-Salam hospitals in Damascus.

SANA did not immediately provide details on the cause of the explosion, its timing, or whether it was the result of an accident, sabotage, or other acts. The limited early imagery released by SANA showed damage at the silos complex.

Other news outlets, citing footage and witness reports, said the explosion occurred near the town's mills, and that the blast coincided with a reported drone flight over Damascus. Some reports suggested that the targeted site might have been used for storage, though no official confirmation was available. Enditem
