At least a civilian was killed and more than ten others were wounded in an intense Turkish shelling on the town of Zirgan (Abu Rasin), north of Hasakah, northeast Syria

Iran PressMiddle East: Nadwa al-Nifekh, 45, was killed in the Turkish bombing, and more than ten wounded civilians were transferred to the hospitals of al-Derbasiyah, Amuda and Hasakah,” local sources from the town said.

“Between 10 to 20 injured people were brought to the hospitals of the city of Hasakah. Others will also be transferred from al-Derbasiyah and Amuda to Hasakah,” a medical source in Hasakah said.

“Some families in the town were unable to leave it due to the heavy fall of the shells by the Turkish forces and the affiliated factions on the town and its countryside,” the source added.

For about ten days ago, the Turkish forces and their affiliated armed factions have escalated their bombardment on the towns of Tel Tamr and Zirgan (Abu Rasin), north of the city of Hasakah, targeting inhabited villages and vital facilities in the area.

Following the Turkish occupation, the northern cities of Syria have witnessed clashes and rocket attacks, as well as car and motorcycle bombings.

The Turkish army occupied areas of Syria more than two years ago under the pretext of fighting terrorists, and a group of Turkish soldiers are still present in these areas.

The Turkish military's attacks on Syria have been condemned by the Syrian people and government, as well as by the international community. 219
