Three people have been killed in a motorbike explosion in Syria's northern city of Jarabulus, according to local sources on Saturday.

The bike exploded late Friday as bomb-disposal exports were attempting to defuse it, the sources said on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to the media.

One person was also injured in the attack.

Although no group has yet claimed responsibility, security forces of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) suspect that the YPG/PKK terrorist group was behind the attack.

Jarabulus was cleared of terrorists in 2016 as part of the Turkey-led Euphrates Shield.

Last month, five FSA bomb-disposal experts were killed in a car bombing that came to the city from the YPG/PKK-controlled Manbaj.

Since 2016, Turkey’s Euphrates Shield and Olive Branch operations in northwestern Syria have liberated the region of YPG/PKK and Daesh terrorists, making it possible for Syrians who fled violence there to return home.
