A car bomb explosion in Manjib, northern Syria, killed at least 15 people, including 14 women, and injured several others. The attack, which occurred near a vehicle carrying agricultural workers, comes amidst a backdrop of continued conflict in the region following Bashar al-Assad's ouster. It was the second similar incident in three days, reflecting escalating violence as Turkish-backed factions and Kurdish-led forces vie for control. Amid this turmoil, a new interim president was named, adding a layer of complexity to the already fraught situation.
Last week, the Syrian factions that outsed al-Assad in a lighting rebellion named former rebel leader Ahmed al-Sharaa as the country's interim president.
Manbij continues to see fighting even after the toppling of Bashar al-Assad in December, as Turkish-supported factions clash with the US-backed Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces.
