(Zaman Al Wasl)- A rigged motorcycle exploded in northeastern Hasakah province, killing one person and wounding four, Kurdish security said Tuesday.
The domestic Asayish forces in the Kurdish-held areas said the blast took place in the village of al-Hamar in the eastern countryside of Hasakah.
Meanwhile, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the conflict has claimed 494,438 lives since it erupted in 2011 with the brutal repression of anti-regime protests.
The previous tally, issued by the Observatory in March this year, stood at more than 388,000 dead.
The war monitor has since confirmed an additional 105,015 deaths following months of documentation efforts supported by its network of sources on the ground.
