of casualties and injuries, Ankara claims.
The town is located right
on the border and is part of a divided city, continuing into Turkey
where the injured were taken to hospitals. A total of 20 people were
wounded, while at least 13 were killed in the blast.

US troops allied with the Kurds in their fight against Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) hastily withdrew from the area shortly before the Turkish invasion. They pulled out of the major cities of Raqqa and Manbij, and the Syrian Army along with Russian military police replaced them.
