In a written statement on Friday, the Internal Security Forces of North-East Syria announced that the Turkish state bombed a vehicle on the Qamişlo-Amûdê road yesterday, killing two people.

“As the Turkish state continues its hostile attitude towards the region, the occupying Turkish army bombed a vehicle travelling on the Qamişlo-Amûdê road at around 18.00 yesterday. The vehicle that went off the road after the attack was targeted by a second strike. 2 people in the vehicle lost their lives on the spot,” the statement said.

The Internal Security Forces pointed out that: “The occupying Turkish state, which does not recognise any international law, endangers the lives of the people with its hostile attacks against the people of the region.”

Turkish drone terror is part of everyday life for the people in northern and eastern Syria. The drones move unchallenged in the US- and Russian-controlled airspace over Syria. Since the beginning of the drone war against the region in the summer of 2020, Turkey has carried out hundreds of attacks using unmanned aerial vehicles.

According to data from the Rojava Information Center (RIC), an NGO based in the region, Turkish drones have carried out around 120 attacks this year. More than 30 people have been killed and more than 60 injured. Last week, two SDF fighters were killed in a Turkish drone attack in the area surrounding Manbij.
