SDF General Commander Mazlum Abdi: Turkish state’s bombing of civilians is a provocation

Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) General Commander Mazlum Abdi released a statement on his Twitter account regarding the bombing of a civilian vehicle by Turkish warplanes in Kobanê.

Abdi said: “At a time when all Syrians want stability, the invading Turkish state is violating all agreements. The bombing of civilians in Kobanê is a provocation attempt. Its aim is to escalate the war in the region. We offer our condolences to the families of the martyrs and call on the guarantor parties to fulfil their responsibilities.”

A Turkish drone bombed a car in Kobanê on Wednesday afternoon. The car was a civilian vehicle parked near the Justice Council in the new city. The car was completely destroyed, and surrounding cars were also damaged.

The aerial attack left two people dead and three injured. Kobanê Autonomous Administration Social Justice Council co-chair Bekir Cerade was one of the injured. Two Autonomous Administration employees died when a drone belonging to the invading Turkish state targeted the vehicle of Cerade.
