Eight militants of Syria's Al Nusra Front were killed and at least five others were wounded in clashes in the Kurdish city of Serekaniye on Tuesday.

Early Tuesday afternoon, Al Nusra launched an attack targeting a patrolling car of Women's Defense Units (YPJ) affiliated to People's Defense Units (YPG). Clashes broke out after the attack in the neighborhood of Mehede in Serekaniye at around 11:30 local time.

The Front carried out another attack against a group of YPG fighters while negotiating with them over the release of the YPG militant, the driver of the patrolling car, who was detained by the group after the attack. He was rescued later by YPG fighters.

According to the reports by YPG forces, YPG fighters have taken the control of the central station of Emil Mislimin group affiliated to the Al Nusra Front.

One YPG fighter has lost his life in clashes which are reported to be continuing in the area near northern Kurdistan region.

Dicle News Agency (DIHA) reported that the wounded militants of the group have been taken to the public hospital in Urfa's Ceylanpınar district. Five are receiving treatment in the hospital, two reportedly in critical situation.

On the other hand, DIHA reported that 15-year-old Mehmet Gündüz in Ceylanpınar's Mehmet Akif Ersoy neighborhood was wounded after being hit on the head by a bullet fired from Al Nusra Front's area in Serekaniye.

The minor who was critically wounded has been taken into intensive care at Ceylanpınar public hospital.

People in the district gathered in front of the hospital and protested against security officers for not ensuring the life safety of the people.
