Security chaos in areas held by Turkish-backed factions | Third explosion hits northern rural Aleppo

Aleppo Governorate – The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights:

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has monitored this evening a violent explosion in the city of Afrin, caused by an improvised explosive device (IED) planted by unknown persons in the center of an electricity generator, near a military checkpoint of Turkish-backed factions.

The explosion caused material damage. No casualties have been reported.

SOHR activists reported earlier hearing an explosion in the Turkish-controlled city of Al-Bab in north-eastern countryside of Aleppo. The explosion was caused by detonating an IED in a vehicle affiliated to “Sultan Murad” Division, which is close to Turkey, near the road to Al-Ra’i in Al-Bab city, north-east of Aleppo. The explosion injured the targeted vehicle’s driver.

SOHR sources reported earlier this morning hearing a loud explosion in the northern countryside of Aleppo in areas under the control of Turkish forces and their proxies. The explosion was caused by detonating a booby-trapped motorcycle on the road between the cities of Azaz and Afrin, which caused material damage but no casualties were reported.
