The official added that the third suicide bomber blew himself up behind the police station, reports said.

So far, no organisation has claimed responsibility for the attacks.

On October 2, the Islamic State terror organisation carried out a similar attack at a police station in al-Midan neighbourhood in central Damascus, which, according to activists, killed 16 people.
