On Thursday, a car bomb exploded in the village of al-Ahras in the countryside of the town of Sere-Kanye (Ras al-Ain) in northeastern Syria, amid reports of killed and injured members of the Turkish-backed armed opposition groups.

Local sources told North-Press that the car bomb exploded while members of Turkish-backed armed groups were preparing it to detonate, as it exploded at the time, leaving dead and wounded among those members.

Earlier on the 12th of this month, more than 20 members of the armed opposition groups and Turkish military were killed in a car bomb explosion at the municipality checkpoint in the village of Tal Halaf in the Ras al-Ain countryside, according to what private sources told North-Press.

Another car bomb targeted, on the 5th of this month, a security checkpoint of the Turkish-backed "Ahrar al-Sharqiya" militia in the town of Mabrouka, west of Ras al-Ain, causing injuries among the militia members.

The areas of control of the Turkish forces and their affiliated armed opposition groups are witnessing a state of security chaos, in which two Turkish soldiers and two members of the armed opposition groups were killed, in addition to the injury of another Turkish soldier, in a car bomb explosion south of the town of Tal Abyad, in the northern countryside of Raqqa on the 6th of last March.
