Turkish drone attack in Qamishlo

A Turkish combat drone has bombed a construction site in the city centre of Qamishlo.

Turkey has once again attacked the city of Qamishlo in north-eastern Syria on Monday. The target of the attack early by an unmanned combat drone in the evening was a construction site near the Şehîd Delîl Sarûxan cemetery in the Meyselon district, according to military sources. According to unconfirmed reports, the attack resulted in injuries. The fire brigade is on the scene and is carrying out fire-fighting operations.

Turkey repeatedly carries out drone attacks on northern and eastern Syria in violation of international law. Since the beginning of the year, there have been more than 80 such attacks, and in recent weeks and months, the Turkish state has escalated the drone war against Rojava.

Twelve days ago, a member of the Christian Sotoro security forces was killed by a Turkish drone near Dêrik, and at the beginning of October, the YPG commander Koçero Batman was murdered in Kobanê in the same way. At the end of September, the co-chairs of the Justice Office of Cizîrê, Zeyneb Mihemed and Yilmaz Şero, died in a drone strike in Girkê Legê. In June, a depot of the HPC (Social Defence Forces) in Qamishlo, which is in the immediate vicinity of today's attack site, was bombed by a Turkish drone. The attack resulted in five casualties.
