In a separate incident, the body of an unidentified woman was found on Thursday evening at the Kafr Dali Tahtani junction in Jindires in the occupied Afrin countryside. She was killed under mysterious circumstances, and the reasons or motives for the crime have not yet been determined.

These crimes come amid ongoing chaos and security deterioration in areas controlled by Turkish-backed occupation militias affiliated with the Interim Government, as incidents of killing and attacks against civilians continue to rise.
