Two Turkish-backed militants killed in attack in Syria’s Afrin
AFRIN, Syria (North Press) – Two militants were killed and two others wounded on Wednesday night after unknown individuals targeted one of the headquarters of the Turkish-backed Levant Front group in the Bulbul district in the countryside of Afrin, north of Aleppo.
A private source told North Press that the targeting took place in the midnight, using grenades, after that they exchanged fire.
Afrin has been under pro-Turkish armed groups’ control since March 2018.
The Turkish-backed armed groups continue to conduct arbitrary arrest campaigns against the residents of Afrin and its countryside amid international silence, according to human rights reports.
On April 11, members of the pro-Turkish Levant Front faction arrested two men from the village of Ziyarah in the Sherawa region in the city of Afrin while they were trying to enter Turkey.
