A suicide bomber killed at least 22 people on Monday in an attack on a wedding party in the northeastern Syrian province of al-Hasakah, according to independent Kurdish media outlets.
"A suicide bomber blew himself up inside a hall in Tall Tawil village during the wedding of a member of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)," Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, told AFP.
Al-Hasakeh is controlled by the SDF, described by the Economist magazine as “essentially a subsidiary of the Kurdish YPG,” who are in turn seen as the Syrian wing of the Turkish-Kurdish PKK.
In 2015, Syrian government forces were forced out of the al-Hasakah by the Islamic State group, who were in turn forced out by Syrian-Kurdish militias.
Pro-Kurdish news outlets also reported that 47 others were wounded and that the attack took place in north of al-Hasakah, at the Sanabil Hall.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far, but suspicion immediately fell on the Islamic State group who have been in involved in frequent clashes with the SDF.
Social media was quickly filled with photos from the blast site.
