DAMASCUS, June 15 (Xinhua) -- A suicide attack targeted a camp belonging to Syria's interior authorities in the northern province of Raqqa on Monday, killing two personnel and wounding others.

Noureddin al-Baba, spokesperson of Syrian interior authorities, said in a statement that a "terrorist suicide attack" struck one of its camps in Raqqa.

The attack killed two members of the security forces and injured others, according to preliminary information released.

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.

The incident comes as Syrian authorities continue security operations against extremist cells in several parts of the country following the political transition that followed the collapse of former President Bashar Assad's government in December 2024.

The interior authorities announced earlier this month that security forces had arrested 235 suspected Islamic State members over a three-month period and dismantled several militant cells in operations across Syria.

Raqqa province, once the de facto capital of the Islamic State group in Syria, has remained vulnerable to attacks and insurgent activities despite years of military operations against extremist organizations.

Syrian officials have repeatedly warned that militant groups were attempting to exploit security gaps and instability in parts of the country during the transitional period.
