An explosion was heard in the city of Maarat al-Numan in the southern countryside of Idlib on Thursday evening, which was subsequently confirmed to be an attack targeting a security installation.
State-run Syrian television initially reported that an explosion was heard across the city in the northern province, noting that relevant authorities were actively investigating the nature and circumstances of the blast.
Following the initial reports, a Syrian security source told Al Jazeera that the explosion was caused by an RPG (rocket-propelled grenade) strike aimed directly at a highway security building in Maarat al-Numan.
The security source confirmed that the attack caused no injuries or loss of life, resulting solely in material damage.
Security forces immediately mobilized to inspect the site and secure the surrounding area.
This is a developing story.
