Between 3 to 5 explosions were reported in the Dummar neighborhood of Damascus, Syria, on September 15th, 2025, between 9:33 PM and 9:48 PM UTC, with local sources alleging an Israeli airstrike targeted a research center. Reports indicate that the Research Building in Damascus was specifically targeted during the alleged Israeli strikes, according to Worldsource24. The Cradle Media also reported the explosions, citing local sources. These developments follow earlier reports of an explosion in Damascus within the past 29 minutes, between 9:03 PM and 9:32 PM UTC on September 15th, 2025, though the specifics of that incident were not detailed at the time. Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa was attending an emergency Arab-Islamic summit in Doha, Qatar, during these reported events, holding sideline meetings with regional leaders. Earlier on September 15th, 2025, the Al-Jabour Tribal Council in Raqqa, through its advisor Sheikh Akram Mahshoush, rejected the representation of Syria by "Shar'aa (Joulani)", stating that the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) represent the Syrian people. Mahshoush also clarified that the SDF does not include Uyghurs or Kazakhstanis and indicated that negotiations with "Shar'aa" would only be considered if he commanded his own army, independent of Turkey. In separate incidents reported on the same day, two Syrian Civil Defense firefighters were injured by a landmine explosion in the Nahshaba area of Jabal Al-Akrad, eastern Latakia. Hammoud Al-Hamoud sustained severe injuries requiring leg amputation, while Ammar Abdel Qader suffered minor injuries. The Syrian Civil Defense attributed the incident to remnants of war. Additionally, violent family clashes occurred in Tafas, northwestern Daraa, between September 15th, 2025, 5:18 PM and 8:03 PM UTC, resulting in one fatality and three injuries, with two homes destroyed. A curfew was subsequently imposed in the town.
