SULAIMANI (ESTA) —  At least two people were killed in an air strike on a motorcycle in the rebel-held zone of northwest Syria on Friday, the local civil defense said. 

The rescue force that operates in opposition-held parts of Syria said two unidentified people were hit in an air strike carried out by “an unidentified aerial drone.”

Local monitors had earlier reported the air strike but not the casualties, saying it took place near Syria’s border with Turkey.

There was no claim of responsibility for the air strike.

The Syrian government and its ally Russia has heavily bombarded the zone in the past.

U.S. aircraft has also hit the north much more rarely to take out hardline targets.
