AL-HASAKAH, Syria (AA) - The YPG/PKK terrorist group raided and set fire to an office of a Kurdish opposition group in Syria’s Al-Hasakah province Wednesday.

In a statement, the Kurdish National Council (ENKS) said a group affiliated with the PYD/YPG/PKK terror group raided the office of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Syria (KDP-S), a member of the Kurdish National Council in Syria, in al-Darbasiyah subdistrict.

The office of the KDP-S was set on fire with Molotov cocktails, it said.

The ENKS also noted that it was not the first such instance and that the offices of the member parties of the ENKS had been subjected to similar attacks before.

“The terrorization policy of the PYD against our people and the burning of the offices of the ENKS and its member parties are happening in front of the coalition forces and the USA, which supports that organization that uses force against us,” the statement said.

The Kurdish opposition group urged the US to put pressure on the YPG/PKK terror group to put an end to such raids and attacks on offices.

YPG/PKK terrorists burned the ENKS office in al-Darbasiyah on Dec. 17, 2021 and attacked two offices of the ENKS and the office of a media organization in Qamishli district of al-Hasakah on Sept. 28, 2021 with Molotov cocktails.

The Kurdish National Council is a coalition of 10 Syrian Kurdish parties and is known to oppose the YPG after the group became more dominant in northern Syria.
