Two people have been killed in a Turkish drone attack on a vehicle in Girkê Legê in the canton of Qamishlo, according to initial reports.

A Turkish drone bombed a vehicle in the village of Til Ceman five kilometres outside Girkê Legê in northern Syria. According to information from the region, two people were killed in the attack. An official statement by the security forces in the autonomous region of northern and eastern Syria is not yet available. According to the Rojava Information Centre (RIC), this is Turkey's 81st drone attack on the autonomous region of northern and eastern Syria this year.

In recent weeks and months, the Turkish state has escalated its drone war against Rojava. On Monday, a building on the site of the Executive Council of the Autonomous Administration of the Euphrates Region in Kobanê was attacked. Last Tuesday, two villagers were killed in a Turkish drone attack near Ain Issa, and five SDF and YPG fighters were killed the previous Friday.
