Unidentified assailants threw a hand grenade in the northern port city of Tripoli”s Syria street Wednesday night, the second such incident in two days, a security source told As Safir daily.
The source said the grenade exploded at around 11:00 pm near Abdul Nasser mosque in the area which separates the neighborhoods of Baal Mohsen and Bab al-Tabbaneh, causing material damages.
Assailants also threw a hand grenade near the area between Qobbe and Bab al-Tabbaneh on Tuesday night. No casualties were reported.
