The Turkish army on Saturday evening launched air strikes on the Syrian city of Kobani in the north of Aleppo province. This was reported on Sunday by Agence France-Presse with reference to a representative of the Kurdish "Forces of Democratic Syria" (SDS).
"Kobani, the city that defeated [the banned terrorist group in the Russian Federation] Islamic State, is the target of bombing by Turkish aviation," said Farhad Shami, who denied any involvement of the SDF in the terrorist attack in Istanbul.
According to him, the strikes were also carried out on targets in the province of Hasakah in northeastern Syria.
As a result of the explosion that occurred on November 13 in the center of Istanbul, 6 people were killed and over 80 were injured. According to investigators, the Kurdistan Workers' Party, banned in Turkey, and detachments of the "People's Self-Defense Forces", which form the backbone of the SDF, controlling most of the provinces of Hasakeh and Raqqa, as well as the Kobani area on the Euphrates and the northeast of Deir ez-Zor, are involved in the terrorist attack. Kurdish detachments are opposing Turkish troops and the Syrian armed opposition, supported by Ankara.
Turkish Interior Minister Suleiman Soylu said that the traces of the terrorist attack in Istanbul lead to Syria, and groups recognized by Ankara as terrorist are involved in the raid.
