Fourth time in ten days: new car-bomb attack targets Turkish-held areas in NE Syria

SOHR sources has reported hearing a loud explosion in Ras Al-Ain area that is under control of Turkish forces and their proxies. It turned out to be caused by a car-bomb explosion in Meshrafa village in Ras Al-Ain city (Sere Kaniye).

The explosion injured many people amid information about the killing of one person at least.

Hours ago, SOHR reported that it obtained more details about the two explosions which hit NE Syria yesterday.

Sources informed SOHR that seven Turkish soldiers were killed in the bomb attack that targeted their checkpoint near Abdeen Gas Station in Um Oshbah village in Ras Al-Ain countryside (Sere Kaniye). The death toll is expected to increase due to the presence of seven other injuries including five whose conditions are critical.

SOHR also documented the killing of six members of the “National Army” after the explosion of a car bomb at a joint checkpoint between the Turkish forces and the National Army, in Al-Arba’in village in the same countryside.

It is noteworthy that this has been the largest death toll ever among Turkish forces in a single attack since Turkey started their military operations in Syria.
