The Hawarnews news agency (ANHA) published footage of an attack by the Turkish army in the autonomous region of northern and eastern Syria. The attack in the south-east of Kobanê had taken place on Wednesday, narrowly missing an ambulance. The ambulance of the "Kobanê Clinic" had been dispatched due to a previous attack that targeted a paint factory near Newroz Square on Miştenûr Hill. When the vehicle parked in front of the factory, the place was bombed again. Two paramedics barely survived the attack and escaped with minor injuries.
The footage released by ANHA shows that the bombing blew a large hole in a wall of the paint factory that was attacked. Security forces believe that the attack took the form of a drone strike. According to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), other areas in the greater Kobanê area were also targeted by the Turkish army the day before, not only by drones, but also by Turkish border troops. Kobanê is located on the Syrian-Turkish border opposite Suruç district of Urfa. The two towns are only a few kilometres apart.
Apparently, no one was injured in the paint factory itself. However, massive property damage was caused, also as a result of a large fire triggered by the bombardment. The fire brigade was in action for several hours to fight the flames.
