Terrorist attacks kill 1 civilian, injure 5 in northern Syria
AL-BAB/AZAZ, Syria (AA) – A civilian was killed and five were wounded in two separate terrorist attacks in northern Syria on Friday.
A car bomb went off in Al-Bab city’s Zamzam neighborhood, killing one civilian, according to an Anadolu Agency correspondent.
Firefighters rushed to the site to put out the fire caused by the explosion that also damaged nearby houses.
Local security forces suspect that the PKK carried out the attack.
Meanwhile, eight rocket-propelled grenades fired allegedly by the PKK landed in the Marea town in the countryside of Aleppo, injuring five people.
The attack was launched from the PKK-controlled Tal Rifaat city, located north of Aleppo.
The Turkish army deployed in the area of the Operation Euphrates Shield responded to the attacks with artillery.
In September 2016, the Turkish army liberated Jarabulus from the ISIS as part of Operation Euphrates Shield. The aim of the operation, which ended in March 2017, was to eradicate terrorists from Syria’s border territories with Turkiye.
