One Syrian displaced was killed by an improvised explosive device in the northern city of Afrin, topping the suspected Kurdish attacks on the Turkish-held region to four in a month, local activists said Monday.
Another displaced person was wounded in the IED attack that hit their car late on Sunday.
Zaman al-Wasl reporter said the victims were two displaced and they have no links to any rebel group.
A police officer was killed and two civilians injured on Friday in a roadside bomb in Afrin.
The bomb rocked a crowded place in the city center, a security source told Turkish Anadolu Agency.
Also, a rigged motorcycle in Afrin killed two people and wounded three others two weeks ago.
Turkey’s military backed by Syrian opposition forces seized Afrin, a mainly Kurdish district, from the YPG in March 2018 in a major offensive.
Two months ago, 48 civilians were killed, including 11 children, when a bomb detonated in Afrin.
Ankara views the YPG as a terrorist group linked to Kurdish militants on its own soil and has mounted military operations in northern Syria to push it back from the border.
The nine-year-old conflict has killed more than 490,000 people and displaced 13 million.
