Hadi al-Bahra, President of the Syrian Opposition Coalition (SOC), extended his heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of the victims of the terrorist bombing that targeted the town of Azaz in the Aleppo countryside on Wednesday. The attack resulted in the death of nine people and injuries to thirteen others. Al-Bahra expressed his wishes for the speedy recovery of the injured.
Al-Bahra called on the competent authorities to step up efforts to ensure the safety of civilians, identify those involved in the terrorist act, arrest them, and bring them to justice to face the harshest penalties under the law.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Defense of the Syrian Interim Government vowed to bring the perpetrators of the attack to justice. In a statement, it announced the commencement of investigations to identify those involved in the bombing, emphasizing that they “will not escape the punishment they deserve.”
The ministry held the PYD militia responsible for the bombing in Azaz, stating: “The terrorism of the PKK against civilians in liberated areas will not go unanswered. We will seek retribution for the blood of the victims.”
On Wednesday evening, the town of Azaz in the northern Aleppo countryside experienced a terrorist attack when a truck bomb exploded while stopped at the “Shatt” checkpoint at the town’s western entrance on the road to Afrin.
Simultaneously with the explosion and rescue efforts, the area was subjected to rocket fire from areas controlled by the Assad regime and PYD terrorist militia, complicating the situation further and exacerbating the damage.
