DAMASCUS, Nov 27 (NNN-SANA) – An explosion took place in Syria’s northeastern city of Qamishli on Tuesday evening (last night).
The blast was heard in the al-Zuhur neighbourhood, in Qamishli.
A source in Qamishli said that, the nature of the explosion was not known yet, amid speculations that it might be caused by an airstrike.
Pro-government reports said, the explosion targeted a checkpoint of Kurdish militia forces in the city, while some activist groups said, it was caused by a foreign airstrike that targeted a military position of Iranian-backed forces.
The situation in northeastern Syria has been tense recently, following the Turkish-led campaign that started last month against the Kurdish groups.
Explosions have been occurring almost daily in that region.
Earlier in the day, a car bomb hit the village of Tal Half, on the outskirts of Ras al-Ayn city, in the countryside of Hasakah. The village has recently fallen under the control of the Turkish-backed rebels, who captured it from the Kurdish forces.
On Nov 23, at least 30 people were killed and wounded in a bombing, in a rebel-held area in Raqqa province.
The Turkish-backed rebels entered the town of Tal Abyad and other areas in northern Syria, following the Turkish cross-border assault on the Kurdish-controlled areas last month.– NNN-SANA
