Truck Bomb in Northern Syria’s Azaz Kills 10 at Rebel Checkpoint

A truck bomb detonated at a rebel checkpoint in the northern Syrian city of Azaz on Wednesday, resulting in 10 deaths and 13 injuries, according to a war monitor. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, based in Britain, reported that four of the deceased were part of the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army.

Following the explosion, reports indicated that the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) fired shells at the site. The SDF and Turkish-backed rebels are engaged in ongoing conflict in northern Syria.

No group has taken responsibility for the bombing.

Azaz, situated in Syria’s Aleppo province, remains under the control of rebels opposing the Syrian government.
