Asayish Members Killed by Turkish Strike in Northern Syria
KOBANI, Syria (North Press) – The Internal Security Forces (Asayish) announced on Monday that three of their members were killed in Kobani, northern Syria, following a Turkish drone strike.
The attack is part of an escalation by Turkey and allied factions targeting multiple areas in northeast Syria, which has resulted in significant casualties among civilians and security personnel in recent days.
Details of the Incident
In a statement, the Asayish confirmed that a Turkish drone targeted their personnel in Kobani, causing the deaths of three members. The statement emphasized the destabilizing impact of the Turkish attacks, describing them as a deliberate attempt to undermine security and stability in the region.
Broader Context
The escalation of violence has seen Turkish military operations intensify across various towns and cities in northern Syria, including Kobani, Ain Issa, Zirgan, and Tel Tamr. These operations have led to civilian casualties and destruction of infrastructure.
The Asayish had earlier reported civilian deaths and injuries in these areas, highlighting the human cost of Turkey’s military campaign in territories controlled by the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES).
Calls for Action
The Asayish has called on the international community and human rights organizations to take decisive action against Turkish aggression. They argue that Turkey’s actions violate international laws and pose a grave threat to the region’s stability.
Background
Turkey’s operations in northern Syria target areas controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). However, the strikes often result in civilian casualties and damage to public infrastructure, sparking international criticism.
