Turkey says three civilians killed in Afrin rocket attack
|
[Rudaw] A rocket attack in Syrian northwestern city of Afrin killed three civilians and injured ten others late on Friday, according to a statement from a Ottoman Turkish governor’s office that blames Kurdish fighters.
The People’s Protection Units (YPG) "carried out a rocket attack against Afrin downtown, killing three civilians and injuring ten others," said the governor’s office of The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
 ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
's Hatay province, which borders Afrin, state media reported.
The Ottoman Turkish defence ministry said six rockets were fired into the centre of Afrin.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that one civilian was killed and eight others were maimed.
First responders the White Helmets said that three were killed and 16 others were maimed.
Afrin is a Kurdish-majority region located in Syria’s northwest. It has seen many deadly bombings since Ottoman Turkish forces and their Syrian proxies invaded in 2018, expelling the YPG and forcefully displacing much of the local population, committing what the United Nations
...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks...
has said are possible war crimes.
Turkey and its media usually blame the YPG for deadly attacks in Afrin, but the group has denied targeting civilians. The YPG has not immediately commented on Friday's attack.
At least four people were killed and several maimed in a boom-mobileing in a market in the centre of Afrin on October 11.
