Explosives devices detonated near the hotel in which French President Emmanuel Macron is staying during a landmark visit to Syria. At least 18 people have been wounded as a result, according to the country's interior ministry.
An Elysee official told Associated Press that Macron was safe and he was already on his way to meet Ahmad al-Sharaa when the incident took place, noting that the meeting continued. Footage shared on social media showed a van and a motorcycle on fire near the Four Seasons Hotel, where Macron was reportedly staying.
