What happened

One civilian was killed and seven others were injured after YPG/PKK terrorists attacked a settlement south of Azaz in northern Syria on Wednesday. The terrorists also abducted a sixteen-year-old boy in Hassakeh province, probably to forcibly recruit him into their armed ranks. Despite being expelled from Afrin by the Turkish military, the YPG/PKK continues to occupy the Tal Rifaat district, in the northern province of Aleppo, and launches frequent attacks on civilian settlements in the nearby areas.
