Six members of a family were injured in the US invasion of Syria.
News sources report that the US attack in northern Syria has injured six members of a family, including a 10-year-old child.
Sources in the United States say a US airstrike in northern Syria has injured six members of a family, including a 10-year-old child.
According to the Associated Press, the United States claims that the attack was carried out to target one of the leaders of the al-Qaeda terrorist group.
According to the report, Ahmad Qasim, 52, was transporting his family from northern Syria in a private car on Friday morning when an explosion occurred on his way.
Qasim and his wife, two sons and two daughters were injured in the incident, which was apparently caused by a rocket fired from a US drone.
According to medical sources and Ahmad Qassem himself, the American UAV was looking to target a motorcycle. The bomber struck near the village of Mastoumeh in northwestern Syria. Ahmad Qasim’s family was on their way to their home in the northern city of Afrin.
The ten-year war in Syria has killed hundreds of thousands of people and devastated large parts of the country.
The U.S. military says it has targeted a “senior al-Qaeda leader”. The U.S. military also said earlier that initial investigations into the attack showed that it had caused civilian casualties.
