One person was injured by an improvised explosive device in the Turkish-held city of Afrin, a local reporter said Thursday.
The attack follows a series of Kurdish YPG escalations against Turkish army and allied Syrian forces.
No more casualties have been reported by the Civil Defense.
Turkey’s military backed by opposition forces seized Afrin, a mainly Kurdish district, from the YPG in March 2018 in a major offensive.
In 2020 more than 70 civilians were killed in Afrin, including children and women, due to YPG's bomb attacks.
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.
The Turkish military and the Syrian National Army attacked Kurdish forces in northeastern Syria on October 9, 2019 with the aim of creating a roughly 30-kilometer (20-mile) deep buffer zone.
