Suspected Turkish drone strike targets three people in Syrian Kurdish town
Turkey's latest strike comes on the four-year anniversary of the Kurdish fighters' capture of Raqqa from the Islamic State.
A drone strike believed to have been launched by Turkey struck a vehicle in the Kurdish-controlled town of Kobani in northeast Syria on Wednesday, according to local reports.
Three people in the vehicle were injured, local ANHA News Agency reported. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based monitoring network, said two people were killed in the strike.
One of those targeted was the co-chair of the Kurdish-led administration’s justice commission for the Kobani canton, according to ANHA, which has close ties to the Kurdish-led administration. Two teenagers were also reportedly in the vehicle when it was targeted.
The strike came on the four-year anniversary of the Kurdish-led fighters’ liberation of the Syrian city of Raqqa from the Islamic State (IS), which the jihadist group ruled as the capital of its proto-state.
