ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - A suspected Turkish drone targeted one of the bases of the internal security forces (Asayish) in Hasaka province, northeast Syria (Rojava) late Monday, injuring civilians and three members of the force, according to the Asayish and local media.
Hawar News Agency (ANHA), a media outlet affiliated to the Rojava administration, reported that a Turkish drone hit an Asayish base in Zirgan town in Hasaka province, injuring two “citizens.”
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that three Asayish members were injured in what it called a Turkish drone attack.
Later, the Asayish said in a statement that many civilians and three of its members were injured and "great material damage" was caused as a result of the attack.
The attack comes hours after the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) media office said in a tweet that a Turkish drone attacked and injured a member of the the Syriac Military Council and his translator in Tal Tamir town.
Orom Maroge was “escorting the Russian side heading to the Tal Tamr power station,” it added.
Turkey regularly bombards Kurdish forces in Rojava for their alleged ties with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) - the Kurdish armed group which has fought the Turkish army for decades.
