Follow @NBCNewsWorld (http://twitter.com/NBCNewsWorld) State television said the "terrorist car bomb" had killed five people and wounded 32, according to "preliminary figures."
Opposition activists said the bomb had gone off near a makeshift children's playground built for the Eid al-Adha holiday in the southern Daf al-Shok district of the capital.
Fighting erupted around Syria earlier as both sides violated the Eid al-Adha cease-fire arranged by international peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, but violence was far less intense than usual.
