[Rudaw] The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced that four of its fighters were killed as a result of a Ottoman Turkish dronezap in northeast Syria (Rojava) on Thursday evening.

The Ottoman Turkish drone targeted a vehicle carrying six members of the Kurdish-led forces on the road to Hermi Shekho village, 10 kilometers west of Qamishli, killing four of the fighters and wounding the other two, according to a statement from the SDF.

The statement claimed that the fighters "were heading home for their monthly vacation" when the strike occurred.
