Explosion kills 8 in northeast Syria
At least eight people were killed and seven others wounded by the explosion of a car bomb in Syria's northeastern province of Hasakah on Saturday, state news agency SANA reported.
The explosion took place near the silos of the Tal Halaf area south of the city of Ras al-Ayn in the northwestern countryside of Hasakah, said the report.
A day earlier, two children were killed and three people were wounded when a car bomb went off in Ras al-Ayn. The explosion was caused by a booby-trapped taxi cab, which was detonated near the national hospital on Friday evening.
Ras al-Ayn, in the northwestern countryside of Hasakah province, is under the control of the Turkey-backed rebel groups.
SANA said the area witnesses rebel-on-rebel battles, adding that the rebels infighting renewed on Friday. The Turkey-backed rebels used medium and light weapons in their infighting, which also includes detonating car bombs.
