Three civilians were injured on Sunday after unidentified gunmen opened fire on their vehicle in the northern countryside of Syria’s Aleppo province, according to local media reports.
Syrian Al-Ikhbariya television reported that the shooting occurred near the town of Fafin, where armed assailants targeted a vehicle carrying civilians.
The circumstances surrounding the attack remain unclear, and authorities have yet to identify those responsible.
Syrian officials had not issued an immediate statement regarding the incident or provided details about the attackers.
There was also no immediate information about the condition of the injured civilians or whether security forces had launched an investigation.
The shooting comes amid continuing security concerns in Syria, where the government has been working to restore stability and strengthen law enforcement across the country.
Authorities have been pursuing armed groups and attempting to address sporadic attacks as part of broader efforts to improve security.
These initiatives have continued since the overthrow of former President Bashar al-Assad’s government on December 8, 2024.
Despite efforts to consolidate security, incidents involving unidentified armed groups continue to pose challenges in parts of the country.
The identity and motives of those behind Sunday’s attack near Fafin remain unknown.
