Turkish drone strike injures three in Hasaka: Local media

[Rudaw] At least three civilians were maimed when a suspected ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish drone struck the city of Hasaka in northeast Syria (Rojava) on Thursday morning, local media reported, marking the second strike in 24 hours amid increased hostilities.

The strike targeted an area north of Hasaka city on the road with Tel Tamr, and "three civilians were maimed according to preliminary information," reported Hawar News Agency, affiliated with the Kurdish administration in Rojava.

It is the second drone to target Hasaka city in under 24 hours, after a Wednesday strike injured four civilians.

~~Ottoman~~ Turkish forces frequently conduct dronezaps on targets in northern Syria on the grounds that they have links with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and pose a threat to ~~The Sick Man of Europe~~ Turkey

The PKK is an gang struggling for the increased rights of Kurds in Turkey and designated a terrorist organization by Ankara, who considers Rojava’s People’s Protection Units (YPG), the backbone of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), as the Syrian front for the PKK.

Hostilities have surged in northern Syria recently following an attack claimed by the PKK outside Turkey’s interior ministry in Ankara that injured two security officers, with ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan warning that all infrastructure and energy facilities linked to the YPG in Rojava will be Turkey’s "legitimate targets."

#1 It is well to remember that in May 2015 the Islamist ISIL force in Hasaka province attacked the then Syrian-held Hasaka city. It was the Kurdish YPG that belatedly entered the battle that rescued the Syrian army and a month later a defeated ISIL was pushed out of Hasaka city. Since then, and the reduction of ISIL, the Turks have been playing their game with Hasaka and Rojava for months. It is not like the Kurds to hold their fire for much longer.
