QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – The Internal Security Forces (Asayish) in Aleppo said on Thursday that two civilians were wounded in a drone strike carried out by factions affiliated with the Ministry of Defense of Syria’s transitional government.
In a statement, Asayish reported that the civilians were injured after being targeted by an unmanned aerial vehicle in the Bani Zaid neighborhood of Aleppo.
The force added that the strike directly hit the civilians, while ambulance teams were unable to evacuate them to hospital due to continued shelling and the targeting of the area.
