A villager killed, a child wounded in Turkish attack on Shehba

The Turkish occupying state shelled a village in Shehba region, killing a villager and injuring a child.

A 30-year-old villager named Yûsêf Heyak was martyred and a 16-year-old boy named Ebdurrehman Heyat was wounded in a bombardment carried out by the occupying Turkish state against the village of Tehan in the Shehba region on Thursday.

The shelling targeted a chicken farm in the village. The injured child was taken to Avrin Hospital. Hundreds of chickens were also killed in the attack.

Shehba is located between Aleppo and Afrin, trapped in a desert-like no man's land between the Syrian regime and the Turkish occupation zone. Around 200,000 inhabitants of the region are people from Afrin who were displaced from their homes in the course of the Turkish war of aggression in 2018. The population is constantly under attack by the Turkish army and its Islamist mercenaries. Most recently, on February 12, a Kurdish civilian was killed in an artillery attack in the village of Bênê in the south-east of Afrin.
