Car Bombs Kill 11 in Turkish-Held North Syria
[AnNahar] Car bombs killed 11 people including six civilians in two separate incidents in Ottoman Turkish-held northern Syria on Sunday, a monitoring group said.

The first attack near a cultural center in the town of Azaz killed six civilians including a maiden of tender years, the Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

An AFP news hound at the scene saw a mangled car ablaze, black smoke billowing into the sky.

In the second incident, a boom-mobile targeted a checkpoint of pro-Ankara rebels near the town of al-Bab, killing five fighters, the Observatory added.

Areas of northern Syria held by Ottoman Turkish forces and their Syrian proxies are regularly rocked by such bombings. There is usually no claim for them, although The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
 routinely blames Kurdish fighters it accuses of being "terrorists" linked to its outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

On Saturday, explosives planted in another vehicle took the lives of eight civilians including four children in the city of Afrin, which Ottoman Turkish forces and their proxies seized from Kurdish forces in 2018.
The Syrian Civil Defense said it responded to 11 explosions in northwestern Syria since the start of January, before Sunday.
