In a statement published on its official website, Kongra Star said the assaults, carried out by armed groups, resulted in dozens of vehicles being set on fire and property being looted. It added that more than 100 families, including women and children, were besieged inside the district directorate building amid extremely dangerous humanitarian conditions.
