Turkish shelling wounds civilian in Syria’s Kobani

KOBANI, Syria (North Press) – A civilian was slightly wounded, on Friday, due to a Turkish shelling of the city center of Kobani city, north Syria.

Muhammad Khalil Bako, owner of a shop in street 48 that was shelled, said, “I was slightly wounded because the Turkish shell hit my shop.”

Bako told North Press that he and another civilian were sitting inside his shop when the shell hit the shop.

The shelling left massive material losses in the shop, according to Bako.

As a result, civilians of Kobani were terrorized when four shells targeted different areas inside the city.

However, losses were limited to only material and no casualties were recorded.

It is noteworthy to mention that following the Turkish incursion in October 2019 on Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain) and Tel Abyad, Turkey signed two ceasefire agreements, one with Russia and the other with the US, stipulating ceasing all hostilities and the withdrawal of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) 32 km away from the Turkish border.

The SDF did withdrew from the border areas according to the agreement, but Turkey continues targeting the area.

On Wednesday, a Turkish drone targeted a vehicle in the southern countryside of Kobani killing three women, one of them was identified as Ronahi Muhammad.
