At least 31 people have been killed in a suicide bomb attack at the main court complex in the centre of the Syrian capital, Damascus, officials say.
The bomber blew himself up after police tried to stop him entering the Palace of Justice, near the Souk al-Hamidieyh.
Later, another suicide bomber attacked a restaurant in the western district of Rabweh, injuring more than 20 people.
The attacks come on the sixth anniversary of the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad.
What began as anti-government protests quickly mushroomed into a brutal proxy war that has drawn in regional and world powers.
Activists say more than 320,000 people have been killed and 11 million displaced.
