Five dead in Afrin blast
|
[Rudaw] At least five people were killed in a dawn bombing in the Ottoman Turkish-controlled Kurdish enclave of Afrin in northwest Syria on Thursday, according to several sources.
"The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) observed the earth-shattering kaboom of a bomb-laden vehicle in the fruit bazaar Afrin city to the north of Aleppo, martyring five people and injuring 10 more, with some in being in a critical condition," the UK-based war monitor said.
A gas station also went kaboom! , adding to extensive material damage, added SOHR.
SOHR numbers differed from those revealed by rebel media. Effect Media Network, a pro-armed opposition news outlet, reported nine killed and 30 injured in the bazar explosion.
A source who spoke to Rudaw from Afrin said that the earth-shattering kaboom took place at 6:50 AM.The boom-mobile is said to have targeted the security headquarters of the Sham Front, a jihadist group within the Ottoman Turkish-backed forces, and killed seven of their fighters.
According to the source, six more were maimed, one of whom was a civilian. No one has grabbed credit so far.
Hawar News, media close to the ruling Kurdish authorities in northern Syria, did report the earth-shattering kaboom, but did not include numbers of casualties.
The Kurdish enclave of Afrin was ruled by Kurdish authorities when the Syrian regime withdrew from the Kurdish-majority northern areas of Syria.
The town was isolated from the rest of Kurdish areas by a Ottoman Turkish-controlled zone in Northern Aleppo.
In early 2018, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
launched "Operation Olive Branch" incursion into the town, forcing Kurdish forces to withdraw, and displacing over 200,000 local civilians.
The city has allegedly faced a widespread ethnic cleansing campaign by Ottoman Turkish-backed groups as hundreds of thousands of Syrian Arabs from elsewhere in the country have been resettled there.
Since then, general lawlessness, and crimes such as looting, arbitrary kidnappings, and liquidations by Ottoman Turkish-backed groups have overtaken the city.
This explosion is not the first explosion to strike the town.
The attacks comes at a time when Ottoman Turkish-backed groups, some of whom who had fought in Afrin, continue their onslaught on Kurdish-controlled territories in northern Syria.
Despite a Ottoman Turkish deals with Russia and the US, and the subsequent withdrawal of Kurdish fighters from the border, Ottoman Turkish-backed groups continued their offensive into northern Syria, especially around the town of Tel Tamr.
While Ottoman Turkish-backed fighters are fighting to take over Kurdish-controlled territories, the Syrian regime and the Russian air force have been trying to take over the hills of Kabani in northwestern province of Latakia, in a bid to gain strategic high ground against Idlib.
Idlib is dominated by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else
 ...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State...
, an gang of rebels and jihadists formerly affiliated with al-Qaeda and known as Jabhat al-Nusra
...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ...

Syrian forces are preparing to start their Idlib offensive in the near future. Syrian regime troops are yet to make meaningful advance, and rebel media have reported the dismantling of at least two regime tanks in the fighting for the strategic hills that overlooks the critical Jisr al-Shogour in northwest of Idlib province.

under the control of Ottoman Turkish-backed forces.
Residents and rebels in the rebel-held northwest blame the YPG for the attacks.
The Kurdish-led forces say they are engaged in a guerrilla campaign against Ottoman Turkish forces but deny they target civilians
