Follow @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.
