Türkiye's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has strongly condemned the attack carried out in the Hijaz area of Syria's capital, Damascus, which claimed several lives and left others injured.

In a written statement, the ministry extended its condolences to the families of those killed and wished a speedy recovery to the wounded.

"We strongly condemn the attack carried out today in the Hijaz area of Damascus, the capital of Syria, which resulted in loss of life," the statement said.

"We pray for Allah's mercy upon those who lost their lives in this heinous attack and wish a swift recovery to the injured. We extend our condolences to the families of the victims and to the Syrian people."

The ministry said attempts aimed at undermining the progress made toward achieving lasting stability and security in Syria and disrupting social peace would not succeed.

"It is our firm belief that the best response to such attempts and to those seeking to undermine social harmony will once again come from the Syrian people by preserving their unity and solidarity," the statement added.

Reaffirming Türkiye's support for Syria, the ministry said, "Türkiye will continue to stand in solidarity with Syria throughout this process." (ILKHA)
