Two civilians were killed in a bomb attack in the northern Ras Alayn region near the Turkish border, local security sources said Thursday.
A car bomb detonated near the local assembly building in the center of Ras al-Ayn (Kobani), a city near the Turkish border, also wounding seven other people, according to Anadolu Agency.
Car bombs have turned the new attack tactic of the Kurdish militias to target Turkish-backed fighters, but this deadly tactic has claimed the lives of tens of people as blasts hit marketplaces and bus terminals.
The Turkish military and the Syrian National Army attacked Kurdish forces in northeastern Syria on October 9 with the aim of creating a roughly 30-kilometer (20-mile) deep buffer zone.
Kurdish forces agreed to withdraw from a 120-kilometer (75 mile) long, Arab-majority segment of the 440-kilometer (275-mile) border zone, although clashes have been reported since.
Turkey subsequently reached a deal with the Syrian regime's main backer Russia for Kurdish forces to pull back from the entire border area.
