Afrin car bomb kills one, injures four
[Rudaw] One person was killed and four people were maimed in a boom-mobileing in the northwestern Syrian region of Afrin on Tuesday, local media reported.

The blast took place near the entrance to the town of Kafr Jannah, in close vicinity to pro-Ottoman Turkish military checkpoints, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported. The car was on its way to Afrin, according to North Press Agency.

Afrin is a Kurdish-majority region in Syria’s northwest. Kurdish forces of the People’s Protection Units (YPG) took control of the area after regime forces re-deployed to defend Arab-majority areas against rebels after the start of the Syrian uprising in 2011.

and its Syrian proxies invaded Afrin in March 2018, forcing hundreds of thousands of people — mostly Kurds — to flee to other areas controlled by the YPG, especially Shahba, north of Aleppo. Since the invasion, there have been several explosions and boom-mobileings in the Afrin region and the YPG has sporadically clashed with Ottoman Turkish-backed militias who are accused of committing war crimes.
