It's a pity for those 18 wounded, right in the center of Damascus. I hope they recover quickly.

Даниела Николовска

Yes, quite awkward what happened just now when there were guests. I hope that the doctors in Damascus will quickly fix all 18. My boy from the hospital said that such explosions often leave psychological traumas.

It’s a pity for these 18 raneti, especially because the explosion hit the center. Se nadevam deka medicine ќ e se pravovat both physichkite, and so te psyche traumi shto gi spomna Daniela. In our time and without toa nervive se na kantar.

Maria Munteanu

I also hope that the 18 injured get well, especially since the explosion was right in the center, where people go to the market or to their daily chores. It's good that Macron didn't suffer anything, but still, these are the times when no official visit is peaceful anymore.

Ксения Беляева

Yes, it’s a pity for these people, especially in the very center. It’s good that doctors are at least trying to help with the psyche, as Daniela wrote. Here in Rostov, after such news, everyone is also nervous; children at school are asking what is happening.

Gabriela Rusu

Yes, Maria, that square in the center is full of housewives like us in the morning. I hope the wounded recover quickly, I saw on the news that some were taken to Al-Assad Hospital. Do you think that Macron's visit had anything to do with the explosions?

Alexandra Ciobanu

Yes, that market is always crowded in the morning, especially with women coming for fresh vegetables. I also read that several arrived at Al-Assad Hospital, I hope they get well soon. I don't know if Macron had anything to do with it, but it seems too coincidental that the explosions happened right then, what do you think, could it have been a message?

Ion Nistor

Yes, that square in Damascus is full in the morning, mostly with women shopping. I also saw that they took the wounded to Al-Assad Hospital, I hope they recover quickly. The coincidence with Macron's visit seems a bit suspicious, but without clear evidence I don't know if it was a message or just a random explosion. What sources did you read?
