Massive explosion rocks Afrin on 1st anniversary of rebel takeover
[ALMASDARNEWS] A massive kaboom rocked Afrin city on Monday after unknown assailants targeted the main headquarters of the Ottoman Turkish-backed rebels.

According to local reports, a boom-mobile exploded in front of the Hekmeh building, which is the location of the Free Syrian Army
... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund...
’s (FSA) main headquarters in the Afrin region.

The corpse count following this attack is still unknown.

This attack comes on the first anniversary of the rebel takeover of the Afrin region from the Kurdish-led People’s Protection Units (YPG).

Since capturing Afrin last March, the Ottoman Turkish military and their rebel allies have turned the region into one of their main strongholds in northern Syria.

Furthermore, the Ottoman Turkish military has recently announced the opening of a new border crossing that links the Hatay Province with the Afrin region’s Jandaris District.
