At least one person was killed on Monday in an apparent guided missile attack on a car in the Mazzeh area of Damascus, Syrian state television said.
The attack occurred near the Eastern Roundabout, close to the Golden Mazzeh Hotel, a high-end establishment in the centre of Syria's capital, state media added.
