Kurdish militia bombing causes casualties in northern Syria

Damascus, Feb 15 (Prensa Latina) A rocket attack by the Kurdish militia Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) killed a woman and wounded several others in the eastern province of Aleppo, some 400 kilometres north of the capital Damascus.

The Syrian Civil Defence said in a statement that the attack hit several houses, a mosque and an alley in the village of Al-Khafsa, which is administratively part of the Manbij municipality.

In addition to material damage, six women, including two minors, were injured in the attack, the report added.

It considered this deliberate targeting of public facilities, places of worship and civilian property to be a clear violation of international standards for the protection of property and facilities from military action.

The Civil Defence denounced that the SDF has recently intensified its attacks on civilians, causing panic among them and preventing them from carrying out their social, commercial and agricultural activities.

The municipality of Manbij, east of Aleppo, is witnessing violence that Damascus blames on the SDF, while the latter denounces that forces loyal to the current government are carrying out an offensive to seize areas under its control.
