The Turkish state forces continue committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in the territories it has occupied, together with jihadist mercenaries, in North-East Syria in flagrant violation of international law.

The northern Syrian canton of Afrin, which has been occupied since March 2018, has also witnessed serious crimes committed by the Turkish army and allied gangs on daily basis.

Turkish soldiers driving in armored vehicle deliberately hit two minors on a motorbike on the Jindires road near Afrin city. One of the minors died and another was seriously injured as a result.

According to reports from the ground, the armored vehicle did not stop and moved on to Hamam border crossing.

Earlier today, armed unmanned aerial vehicles of the Turkish state targeted the villages of Merzê and Dêrikaberavê in Derik city. According to the Asayish (public security) authority of North-East Syria, the attack left two civilians dead in Merzê village. The Turkish army has been conducting reconnaissance activities over the region since early this morning.
