Suspected Turkish attack injures at least one person in Hasaka
2022-01-02
[Rudaw] At least one person was injured in a suspected Ottoman Turkish attack in northeast Syria (Rojava), a conflict monitor reported on Saturday, days after a similar offensive took the lives of three people.

"With heavy artillery, the Ottoman Turkish forces targeted the public facilities and the municipality building" in Hasaka’s Zarkan district, injuring at least one person, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said.

There are initial reports of more injuries, but are not confirmed yet, SOHR added.

The recent attack resulted in material damage as well.

Hasaka has been a recent target of Ankara.

At least three people, including a mother and a child, were killed while several others were maimed when Ottoman Turkish forces bombed Zarkan and Tel Tamer districts in Hasaka on Thursday.

Four other people died in Ottoman Turkish shelling in Zarkan district on December 21.

Rojava’s internal security forces (Asayish) have previously described The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
’s offensives targeting northern Hasaka as "an attempt to displace the residents."

s and bombardment spark fear in its residents, according to SOHR.

Turkey has conducted three military operations in northern Syria since 2016, two of them against Kurdish fighters who Ankara considers a branch of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and a threat to its national security. It has been threatening a new offensive against Kurdish forces in Rojava in the recent months.
