in the Syrian town of Tel Abyad, at least 13 people were killed and more than 30 injured after a car bomb exploded in a market on Saturday, according to Turkish state media and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Tel Abyad is one of two major border towns that were the initial focus of Turkey's cross-border assault in recent weeks to capture territory from Kurdish militia in northern Syria. Turkey's government blamed the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia and the Turkey-based Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) for the "inhuman attack". The Observatory said pro-Turkey fighters and civilians were among the dead and injured in the car explosion.
