"A terrorist suicide bomber wearing an explosive belt blew himself up in the Jebbeh district of the Jisr al-Abyad neighbourhood, causing deaths and injuries," state television said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based monitoring group, said at least two people were killed in the attack.
The group said the target appeared to be a government building.
Suicide bombings have repeatedly targeted the capital in the bloody 33-month conflict pitting forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad against rebels seeking his ouster.
