Turkish drone strike in Syria kills four US-backed fighters: Kurdish group

YEARS

Turkiye said one of its ambulances was targeted. It said the attack took place near the town of Amoudha, west of Qamishli. There was no immediate statement from Turkiye yet.

Four US-backed fighters were killed and 11 civilians were injured in a Turkish drone strike in northern Syria on Friday evening, Kurdish-led forces said.

A day before this attack on the US-backed and Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Turkey’s president had said that his government would not hesitate to take action against the Kurdish-led groups if they went ahead with their plan to hold local elections.

The Turkish government accuses these groups of having links with Kurdish militants banned in Turkey. The SDF said drones had struck its compounds and civilian homes and vehicles eight times in and around Qamishli. Such attacks by Turkey are not uncommon in northern Syria.

The Kurdish Red Crescent said that Turkiye also targeted one of its ambulances when its paramedics were trying to reach the attacked areas. It said that the attack took place near the city of Amoudha, west of Qamishli. There was no immediate statement from Turkiye yet. The Kurdish-led autonomous administration occupying northern and eastern parts of Syria has announced municipal elections on June 11.
