A series of incidents in Syria

The attack occurred as the country struggles with another wave of violence. Just before the bus was shot at, state media reported a gas pipeline explosion near one of the main power plants near Damascus.

Just two days earlier, another gas pipeline was intentionally damaged in eastern Syria. These events raise concern and indicate a growing threat to critical infrastructure in the region.
