Turkish soldiers have shot dead a 9-year-old girl from Efrîn city of West Kurdistan, Rojava, last night.

The girl's dead body was found in the border village of Bikê of Efrîn at 22:00 last night. She had been shot by two bullets which left her dead near the border between Kilis and Efrîn.

While asayish (public security) forces stated that the girl was obviously killed by Turkish soldiers while trying to cross the border, local sources reported that the girl was not alone but accompanied by a woman who might have been killed by soldiers similarly.

Soldiers of the Turkish military have killed or wounded dozens of civilians at the border to Rojava territory during the past one year.
