JARABULUS, Syria (AA) - Five bomb disposal experts were killed when a car bomb exploded Thursday near the Syrian opposition-controlled town Jarabulus, according to a civil defense source.

The car loaded with explosives from YPG/PKK-controlled Manbij was headed to the Turkish backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) Jarabulus -- located in the Euphrates Shield Operation area, Raid Salih, head of civil defense teams told Anadolu Agency.

The vehicle detonated in Gandura, the first check point of the Operation area, Salih said.

A child was killed and 20 others were injured earlier Thursday in a similar attack in Afrin, also located in the Turkish-backed Olive Branch Operation area.
