A car bomb exploded in central Damascus on Tuesday, wounding three people, state television reported, blaming an "armed terrorist group".

"An armed terrorist group detonated the car bomb near the Yelbugha complex in the Marjeh district of Damascus, wounding three people and causing damage to nearby buildings," the television said.

The blast came as the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said violence across the country killed nearly 60 people on Monday, despite a fragile ceasefire that went into effect April 12.

The Syrian capital has been the scene of several car bombs in recent months that have mainly targeted security installations.
