Car bomb goes off in rebel-held area in NE Syria, leaving casualties

Damascus/Xinhua/UNI:  A car bomb went off in the countryside of the rebel-held Ras al-Ayn city in northeastern Syria on Wednesday, leaving unknown numbers of casualties, state news agency SANA reported.

The car exploded in the village of Mabrokeh in the countryside of Ras al-Ayn, which is controlled by the Turkey-backed rebels and Turkish forces.

Meanwhile, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said five people were wounded in the explosion, which is the latest in a series of bombings targeting areas controlled by the Turkish force and Turkey-backed rebels.

It is worth noting that Ras al-Ayn, located in the countryside of the northeastern province of Hasakah, is one of several areas stormed recently by the Turkish forces as part of a campaign against the Kurdish militia in northern Syria near the Turkish border.

The Observatory said the Turkey-controlled areas in northern Syria live in a state of lawlessness and chaos.

Last week alone, five car bombs went off in northeastern Syria, and three of them were detonated in Ras al-Ayn, according to the UK-based watchdog group.

The Syrian government has repeatedly slammed the Turkish presence on Syrian soil, saying the Turkish troops are forces of occupation.
