[REGNUM] Six children and three adults were injured in a terrorist attack in the city of Tell Rifaat (Aleppo, Syria), Yevgeny Gerasimov , deputy head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties, told reporters on August 4.
He said that the attack was carried out with the help of a drone: the blow was delivered "on a busy market."
In addition, in another Syrian province - Idlib - three soldiers of government troops were injured. This happened as a result of artillery shelling by terrorists of the area of the settlement of Ed-Dana.
A suspected Ottoman Turkish drone targeted Tal Rifaat downtown in northwest Syria on Thursday, injuring seven people, including children, reported local media and a war monitor.
Hawar News Agency (ANHA), a media outlet affiliated to Kurdish administration in northeast Syria, reported that seven civilians, including five children aged between 6-15, were killed in a Ottoman Turkish drone attack in the Tal Riffat which is under the control of Kurdish fighters.
The condition of one of the injured is serious, according to ANHA.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) also reported the "Ottoman Turkish" attack, saying only two of the injured are children.
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
 ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
has renewed threats to launch a fresh military operation against Kurdish fighters in northern Syria in recent months, with Ottoman Turkish officials saying the campaign could begin "any moment." However,
those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things...
the international community has warned against such an offensive, saying it will further escalate tensions in the war-torn country.
Tal Rifaat is located in Aleppo province. Along with Manbij city, it has been the focal point of Turkey's fresh threats. It is a small pocket of territory with Ottoman Turkish-backed militias to the west, north, and east, regime forces to the south, and rebel-held Idlib to the southwest. It houses hundred of thousands of Kurds who fled Afrin when Ankara and its Syrian proxies invaded in 2018, forcing the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) out.
Turkey accuses Kurdish forces of using the Tal Rifaat area to attack its forces.
Ankara claims that the YPG is the Syrian offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), an gang struggling for increased rights of Kurds in Turkey. Turkey has labeled both terrorist organizations.
