SYRIA: Turkish drone strike kills nine members of same family, including seven children

KOBANE, North and East Syria — Despite the integration agreement signed between General Commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) Mazloum Abdi and Syrian Transitional President Ahmad al-Sharaa, Turkey and its Syrian National Army (SNA) proxies continue their indiscriminate attacks on North and East Syria.

In the latest attack targeting civilians, a Turkish drone targeted a farm between the villages of Qomji and Barkh Botan, south, of the city of Kobane, late on Sunday evening.

The attack killed nine members of the same family, seven children and their parents, who worked in agriculture. Two others were seriously wounded in the strike and were rushed to a hospital.
