Three civilians were killed on Saturday by the explosion of an explosive device in the city of Afrin in northern Syria, state-run news agency reported.
Citing local sources, SANA said a powerful explosion rocked Afrin as a result of an explosive device affixed in a car.
It added that a little girl was among the killed civilians.
Turkey’s military backed by Syrian opposition forces seized Afrin, a mainly Kurdish district, from the YPG in March 2018 in a major offensive.
Local activists and residents blame the YPG for the attacks, while the militia says it does not target civilians.
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 ten-year-old conflict has killed more than 500,000 people and displaced 13 million. Agencies
