According to the ANHA news agency, Turkey attacked the city centre of Kobanê with a drone at 7.15 am local time this morning. According to reports, the bombing caused damage to property.

In recent weeks and months, the Turkish state has escalated its drone war against Rojava. Last Tuesday, two villagers were killed in a Turkish drone strike near Ain Issa, and five SDF and YPG fighters were killed the previous Friday. Meanwhile, artillery shelling also continues unabated. Such attacks on the civilian population constitute war crimes, but are apparently not punished for political reasons.

In the autonomous region of northern and eastern Syria, 27 people were killed in Turkish drone attacks in August, including eight minors.
