Five wounded in Turkish shelling in northern Hasakah
HASAKAH, Syria (North Press) – On Thursday, five people were injured in Turkish shelling of Aboush village in the northern countryside of Hasakah, northeast Syria.
A medical source in Lekrin Hospital in Tel Tamr town, in northern Hasakah, informed North Press that the shelling caused five minor injuries, adding they are being treated in the hospital.
Earlier today, Turkey targeted Sheikh Ali village but there have been no reports of casualties and damage so far.
Tel Tamr, which has a population of about 25,000 and is 30 km away from the Syrian-Turkish border, is of strategic importance as it is a junction on the M4 Highway linking Hasakah to Aleppo governorate in the northwest.
The town and its countryside have been under constant attacks by Turkish forces and their affiliated Syrian opposition factions for more than two years.
