ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – A booby-trapped motorcycle killed one person and three injured in the Washokani Camp, located outside Hasakah city, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) war monitor reported on Monday.

The Asayish in a statement said they immediately began with an investigation of the incident.

"The results of the investigations will be published after they are finalized."

Around 14,000 civilians displaced from the Syrian city of Serekaniye (Ras al-Ain in Arabic) live in Washokani Camp after Turkey’s cross-border attack in northern Syria in October 2019.

The towns of Tal Abyad and Serekaniye were occupied by Turkey in October 2019 after a major offensive against the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

The campaign was put on hold after the US and Russia struck separate deals with Erdogan to allow the withdrawal of Kurdish forces from a planned buffer zone Turkey calls a “safe zone.”
