Two members of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) were killed in a drone attack by the Turkish state in the south of Til Hemîs.

According to SDF information, the airstrike at around 10:00 local time on Friday morning targeted a post in the village of Qeyrewan (Al-Qayrawan). The village is adjacent to the Hol reception and internment camp, and both SDF fighters were part of the security guards for the camp. Information about the identities of the fallen fighters will be announced later, SDF said.

For years, Turkey has been using drones for extralegal killings in the autonomous region of northern and eastern Syria, justifying its air war, which violates international law, with security concerns. The attacks are directed against representatives of the Autonomous Administration structures, members of combat units and the civilian population. Since the beginning of the year, Turkey has carried out at least thirteen drone attacks in northern Syria. Last year, Turkey carried out at least 130 drone attacks, killing 87 people and injuring 151 others.
