French President Emmanuel Macron's landmark visit to Syria was overshadowed after explosions were reported near the hotel where he was staying in Damascus. According to French officials, Macron was not aware of the blasts and went ahead with his scheduled meeting with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa.
The visit marks the first by a European Union head of state since the fall of Bashar al-Assad's government in 2024. The incident highlights the persistent security challenges facing Syria even as its new leadership seeks closer ties with Europe and the West.
