ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – A Turkish drone on Wednesday targeted a car in the Malla Sbat village in Al-Qamishli countryside, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) war monitor reported on Wednesday.
“The attack left three people who were traveling in the targeted car dead and wounded,” SOHR said.
The SOHR report did not identify how many persons were killed in the attack.
The SOHR report said Syrian military forces are deployed in the village and also included grain storage facilities.
