ISIS suicide bombers attack Hesekê: 10 soldiers killed
HESEKÊ (DİHA) - ISIS suicide bombers killed at least ten people and injured dozens in two coordinated attacks on June 23 in the heart of the northeastern Syrian city of Hesekê, a monitor and a resident said.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least three bombers targeted a key Syrian army security compound in the heart of the government-held portion of the city while a bomber blew himself up in the Kurdish portion of the city at a police station run by the Peoples Protection Units (YPG).
The ethnically-mixed city is divided into separate zones run by the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and a Kurdish administration with a well-organised militia. The Observatory, which tracks violence across the war-torn country, said both the Kurds and the Syrian authorities were keeping a tight lid on the numbers of casualties.
Ten regime soldiers were killed in the attack at Syrian army security compound in the heart of the government-held portion of the city while one civilian was killed in the attack at a police station run by the YPG forces.
