Car bombing injures civilians in north Syria's Kurdish-majority city of Afrin

At least six civilians were wounded in a car bombing in Syria’s northwest city of Afrin that has been under the control of Turkish-backed militias for just over two years, local sources said on Saturday.

The explosion occurred near a recently established bridge in the center of Afrin city, by a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBEID) attached to a Suzuki car, the Syria-based war monitor Afrin Post reported.

Two of those injured were reported in critical condition, one of them a Kurdish worker in a juice shop nearby, the monitor said.
