DAMASCUS, March 16 (Xinhua) -- At least one civilian was killed and four others wounded on Monday by an explosion in Syria's northeastern province of al-Hasakah, state news agency SANA reported.
The explosion was caused by a booby-trapped motorcycle that went off in the city of Shaddadi in the countryside of al-Hasakah, according to SANA.
The exact target of the explosion wasn't immediately known but the area there is controlled by the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a Kurdish-led militia.
Meanwhile, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Monday that lawlessness hits a new high in areas under the SDF control in al-Hasakah and the countryside of the eastern province of Deir al-Zour. Enditem
