They added that the attack caused widespread panic among residents, amid growing fears of renewed indiscriminate targeting of populated villages, as military escalation in the area continues.
Meanwhile, a United Nations humanitarian aid convoy arrived today at the entrance of the Kobani countryside, coming from Aleppo, following a siege that has been ongoing for the sixth consecutive day, imposed by forces affiliated with the transitional government.
The arrival of the convoy coincided with the continued siege of the city, as residents are suffering from a severe shortage of basic supplies.
