JARABULUS
Five bomb disposal experts were killed when a car bomb exploded Thursday near the Syrian opposition-controlled town Jarabulus, according to a civil defense source.
The car loaded with explosives from YPG/PKK-controlled Manbij was headed to the Turkish backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) Jarabulus -- located in the Euphrates Shield Operation area, Raid Salih, head of civil defense teams told Anadolu Agency.
The vehicle detonated in Gandura, the first of the Operation area, Salih said.
A child was killed and 20 others were injured earlier Thursday in a similar attack in Afrin, also located in the Turkish-backed Olive Branch Operation area.
