DAMASCUS, April 4 (Xinhua) -- Turkish shelling has inflicted damage on an electricity station in Syria's northeastern province of Hasakah on Saturday, state news agency SANA reported.

The Turkish shelling targeted the electricity lines in the town of Tal Tamr in the countryside of Hasakah, which caused the electricity station to go out of service, said the report.

This comes a few days after the Turkish forces cut off water supply lines from areas in Hasakah, according to the report.

On April 2, Turkish shelling killed two people in Tal Tamr and wounded four others.

The Turkish forces have been active in northeastern Syria since October of last year when the Turkish forces and allied Syrian rebels launched a series of attacks on Kurdish-administered areas in northeastern Syria.
