Car Explodes In Kurdish-Majority Neighborhood In Aleppo
[NPASyria] On Friday, an individual was killed and two others were maimed in a car blast in Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood in the city of Aleppo, northern Syria.

A local source told North Press, "The explosion occurred in the industrial zone in the neighborhood, killing a member of the economy committee and wounding two others."

The source added that the earth-shattering kaboom took place in Sheqayef area north of Sheikh Maqsoud.

The reason for the earth-shattering kaboom has not been revealed yet, according to the source.

For six months, the Syrian army’s Fourth Armored Division has prevented the entry of fuel and medical supplies to the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyeh neighborhoods of Aleppo, as well as to the Shahba region in the northern countryside of Aleppo.

Both Kurdish-majority Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyeh neighborhoods, northern Aleppo, are semi-autonomous and run by a civil administration.

The two neighborhoods, in addition to the IDPs camps and villages in the northern countryside of Aleppo are housing the IDPs of Afrin who fled the violations and the invasion of the Ottoman Turkish army and the Ottoman Turkish-backed armed opposition factions since their control of Afrin in 2018.

The two neighborhoods of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyeh have become a safe haven for many people from both inside and outside the city of Aleppo. This has led to the activation of trade and industrial movement, but the Syrian government besieges them frequently.

Also, both Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyeh enjoy security and stability better than that of the other neighborhoods in Aleppo, which made them to be a target of the armed opposition factions several times.

The neighborhoods are separated from the other neighborhoods in Aleppo by three government security checkpoints; Ashrafiyeh, Awared, and Maghsalat al-Jazira.
