The corpse count following this attack is still unknown.

This attack comes on the first anniversary of the rebel takeover of the Afrin region from the Kurdish-led People’s Protection Units (YPG).

Since capturing Afrin last March, the Ottoman Turkish military and their rebel allies have turned the region into one of their main strongholds in northern Syria.

Furthermore, the Ottoman Turkish military has recently announced the opening of a new border crossing that links the Hatay Province with the Afrin region’s Jandaris District.
