A car bomb attack in northwestern Syria’s Azaz region killed five people and wounded 85 others, a local hospital in Syria and Turkish state media said on Sunday.
The incident took place in the village of Siccu, across the border from Turkey’s southern province of Kilis, Turkey’s Anadolu news agency said.
It said 15 of the wounded had been taken to a hospital on the Turkish side of the border and that some were in critical condition.
Azaz has been under the control of rebels backed by Turkey since Ankara’s first incursion into Syria in 2016, in an operation that aimed to drive away Islamic State militants and the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia from its border with Syria.
Ankara regards the US-backed YPG as a terrorist organization. The operation ended in 2017.
Syria held a parliamentary election across government territory on Sunday. The country is struggling against a collapsing economy and new US sanctions after President Bashar al-Assad clawed back control of most of the country.
