DAMASCUS, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) -- At least two civilians were killed on Thursday when two car bombs went off in Syria's northeastern city of Ras al-Ayn controlled by the Turkey-backed rebels, state-run SANA news agency reported.
The car bombs were detonated in swift succession at the al-A'laf roundabout in Ras al-Ayn, the report said.
Six people were also wounded in the bombing attack, it added.
The attack is the latest in series of bombings targeting the areas that have been recently stormed by the Turkey-backed rebels and Turkish forces.
The previous day, at least five Turkish soldiers were killed when a car bomb targeted their convoy in the city of Jarablus in northern Aleppo province when it was en route to a Turkish-run base on the outskirts of the city, SANA reported.
It added that 12 other Turkish soldiers were wounded and later sent across the border to Turkish hospitals.
There have been a series of bombings and explosions targeting the Turkey-backed rebels and Turkish forces in northern Syria since Turkey launched an offensive against the Syrian Kurdish forces in October.
