At least 15 people were killed on Monday by bombings that targeted a police station in the capital Damascus' Midan neighborhood, pro-government al-Ekhbariah TV reported.
Several suicide bombers detonated their explosive belts in front of the police station and inside, according to the report.
The capital Damascus has enjoyed relative peace in latest months, but explosions still rock from time to time.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based monitor, reported "at least two blasts" hit the neighbourhood.
It said the first was a car bomb attack near a police station and the second was caused by a suicide bomber.
The monitor said there were also reports that a second suicide bomber had detonated an explosive belt in the attack.
There was no official confirmation of those details, although the Al-Watan newspaper, which is close to the government, also reported the attack was near a police station in Midan.
Damascus has been spared much of the violence that has devastated Syria since the conflict erupted in March 2011 with anti-government protests.
But the capital has been rocked by sporadic bomb attacks.
In December 2016, three police officers were wounded when a seven-year-old girl walked into a police station in Midan wearing an explosive belt that was remotely detonated.
More than 330,000 people have been killed in Syria since the conflict began. (AFP, Xinhua)
