Car bomb leaves 8 dead at North Syria market

A bomb exploded in a market in Azaz, a north Syrian city held by pro-Turkish forces, early Sunday, killing eight people and wounding more than 20 others, VOA reported.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the blast caused significant damage and sparked a fire in the popular market.

Since 2011, the war in Syria and its aftermath has killed more than 507,000 people, displaced millions, and battered the country’s infrastructure and industry.
