Blasts hit coalition arms depot in north Syria

A string of explosions Saturday rocked a munitions storage site in northeastern Syria used by the U.S.-led coalition battling ISIS, activists and a local official said.


"At least five explosions occurred on Saturday morning at the arms and munitions depots in a base close to Tal Tamer" northwest of the city of Hassakeh, the head of the [so-called] "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights", Rami Abdel-Rahman, told AFP.

He said the base was used by Kurdish forces from the People's Protection Units (YPG) as well as members of the international coalition fighting ISIS in Syria and neighboring Iraq.

A local Kurdish official said a number of people were injured in the blasts and loaded on to ambulances.
