ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — An ammunition depot in Syria’s Hasaka city exploded late Wednesday, according to the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria’s (NES) interior minister.
While Kanaan Barakat, interior minister of Rojava, reported no casualties to Rudaw English earlier, local media outlet North Press Agency is currently reporting eight injuries.
A photograph of a child being treated for a head wound, said to caused by the explosion, was shared later by Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)-affiliated media outlet Ronahi TV.
The explosion took place in the downtown’s Mesherfeh neighborhood, according to the Rojava Information Centre.
Barakat told Rudaw English that it is not clear whether the depot belongs to Kurdish security forces (Asayesh) or the SDF as their facilities are in close proximity.
