According to Syrian state media, an explosion occurred on a recent Sunday in the Al-Maysar neighborhood of Aleppo, a major city in northern Syria. The cause of the blast was initially unclear, with authorities reportedly investigating the nature of the incident.

Subsequent media reports and observations from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) confirmed that the explosion was a suicide attack. The SOHR stated that an individual wearing an explosive belt detonated himself near the Al-Wahda bakery in the Al-Maysar district. The attack resulted in at least one confirmed fatality, though detailed information on the full extent of casualties was not immediately available. The incident underscores the ongoing security challenges and sporadic acts of violence that continue to plague various parts of Syria, despite a relative reduction in large-scale conflict.
