AFRIN, Syria (AA) - At least two civilians were injured on Wednesday when a bomb placed on a motorcycle exploded in the northern Syrian town of Afrin.

The explosion on a busy street in the center of Afrin also damaged surrounding buildings.

Local security forces, who conducted investigations at the scene, suspected the attack was carried out by the YPG/PKK terrorist organization.

The YPG/PKK, which has occupied Tel Rifaat, has been carrying out attacks in Afrin, Azaz, al-Bab, and Jarabulus.

In its nearly 40-year terror campaign against Türkiye, the PKK — listed as a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the US, and EU — has been responsible for the deaths of more than 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.​​​​​​​
