Thirty-three people were injured in an explosion that struck a wedding celebration on Friday evening in the town of Abidin in western Daraa.
DaraaHealth Director, Dr. Ziad al-Mahamid, told SANA that there were children among the wounded, stressing that the Health Directorate is closely monitoring all cases and providing necessary medical care.

He explained that injuries ranged from mild to moderate, with one serious case involving a leg amputation.

He clarified that the patrol did not approach the site of the incident and remained in its usual position.
