Three civilians were killed and several others, including children, security personnel and civil defense workers, were wounded on Monday when fire from the terrorist YPG/PKK-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) struck northern Aleppo, prompting dozens of families and factory workers to escape the area, Syrian authorities said.
SDF fighters targeted a checkpoint between the Shayhan and al-Layramoun roundabouts with machine-gun fire and mortar shells, forcing residents and workers to leave the surroundings of the al-Layramoun neighborhood, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported.
A civilian was killed after SDF forces shelled multiple neighborhoods in Aleppo with mortars and rockets, the agency added.
SDF shelling also struck al-Razi Hospital in the city, SANA reported without immediately providing details on casualties or damage.
The outlet said two children suffered various injuries from gunfire near the Shayhan roundabout in Aleppo. It also reported fires breaking out in the Jamiliyah and Sheikh Taha neighborhoods as a result of SDF shelling and gunfire.
