Turkish drone strike kills three in northeast Syria's Qamishlo: Statement
UPDATE: The SDF-linked Internal Security Forces in northeast Syria said three civilians were killed in a Turkish drone strike.
ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – A Turkish drone strike rocked the city of Qamishlo in northeast Syria Tuesday afternoon, killing three civilians from the same family, the Kurdish-led Internal Security Forces (Asayish) said.
The incident occurred in the al-Hilaliye neighborhood, west of Qamishl (Qamishli), the Asayish said in a statement. The Syria-based Rojava Information Centre (RIC) tweeted that initial reporting indicates three people died in the attack.
"These violations help all terrorist organizations organize their ranks and spread terrorism" around the world, the Asayish added.
