SEVERAL KILLED AFTER CAR BOMB EXPLODES IN VEGETABLE MARKET IN NORTHERN SYRIA

Sat 02 January 2021:

A car bomb exploded in a vegetable market in the Syrian town of Ras al-Ain with reports of several killed and wounded, according to the information released by the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights on Saturday.

A car bomb near a vegetable market in northeastern Syria killed five people on Saturday in the border town of Ras al-Ain, a war monitor said.

A woman and a child were among those killed, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

At least three of the victims killed were civilians, but the identity of the other two was not immediately clear. Four others were wounded, it said.

Turkish forces and the Free Syrian Army [FSA] in October 2019 liberated a 120-kilometre (75-mile) stretch of land [from Ras al-Ain to Tal Abyad] inside the Syrian border by clearing the area from the Daesh and YPG terrorists.

On December 10, a car bomb killed 16 people including two civilians and three Turkish personnel at a checkpoint in the town.

In July, the blast from an explosives-rigged motorbike ripped through a vegetable market there, killing at least eight people, including six civilians.

Syria’s civil war has killed more than 387,000 people and displaced millions from their homes since starting in 2011 with the brutal repression of anti-Assad regime protests.
