(Zaman Al Wasl)- At least two Kurdish fighters killed in two blasts hit the former Daesh town of al-Shaddadi in northeastern Hasaka province, activists said Sunday.
According to Malaz al-Yousif, Hasaka-based activist, a booby-trapped motorcycle went off on Saturday in the center of al-Shaddadi town, targeting an Assayish vehicle, the domestic security unit of the Kurdish Democratic Party (PYD).
Another PYD fighter was killed in a land mine explosion in the town on Saturday.
Hasaka, a city 620 km north of Damascus, was liberated from the Islamic State in 2016, but the scattered blasts are still taking place due to the ISIS sleeper cells, according to Kurdish officials.
Kurdish militias have been the main partner of the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State in Syria, helping drive the jihadists out of swathes of northern and eastern Syria last year.
