YPG terrorists said to kidnap people in northern Syria

Members of the terrorist organization PKK/YPG have kidnapped five people in Aleppo province in Northern Syria.

The incident took place during a terrorist raid near the Sheikh Maqsut and Ashrafiyah neighborhoods occupied by the group, Caliber.Az reports, citing Anadolu.

The fate of the abducted men is still unknown.

The PKK/YPG terrorist organization continues its occupation of the Sheikh Maqsut and Ashrafiyah districts, north of the administrative center of Aleppo province of the same name.

​The PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) and its Syrian affiliate, the YPG (People's Defense Units), have been implicated in the abduction and forced recruitment of minors in Syria, a practice that violates international law. Since the beginning of 2024, reports have documented the kidnapping of over 35 children from regions including Aleppo, Raqqa, Deir ez-Zor, and Hasakah. These children are often isolated from their families and subjected to armed training in camps. ​
