UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said Secretary-General Antonio Guterres extended his condolences to the the victims' families, wished the injured a speedy recovery and stressed that those responsible for the attack must be held accountable.
The explosion struck a cafe near the Palace of Justice in central Damascus on Thursday.
Syrian authorities said preliminary investigations indicated that the blast was caused by an improvised explosive device planted inside the cafe.
