ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - One civilian was killed and two others were injured in the city of Amuda in northeast Syria (Rojava) when a suspected Turkish drone struck a neighborhood, according to local reports.
Hani Khalaf, 35, was killed in the Mesakin neighborhood of Amuda near the Turkish border. Two other people were also injured, reported Hawar News Agency (ANHA), a media outlet affiliated with the Kurdish authorities.
Power lines and local businesses were also damaged by the strike, according to ANHA.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based war monitor that relies on a network of sources within Syria, said the attack was carried out by a “Turkish drone” and one person was injured.
Turkey has carried out 95 airstrikes in Kurdish-held areas of north and northeast Syria since early this year, according to the SOHR.
Ankara frequently carries out strikes in northern Syria on the grounds that it is targeting the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
