A large truck bomb blast claimed by Islamic State has killed nearly 50 people and wounded scores more in the northeastern Syrian city of Qamishli near the Turkish border. The death toll is expected to rise because of the number of people seriously injured- reportedly at least 145.

Wednesday’s attack, which hit near a Kurdish security forces headquarters, was the deadliest of its kind in the city for years, the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

ISIS, in a statement published by the IS-linked Aamaq news agency, claimed responsibility for what it said was a truck bombing that struck a complex of Kurdish offices in Qamishli. The extremist group has carried out several bombings in Kurdish areas in Syria in the past.

The predominantly Kurdish U.S.-backed Syria Democratic Forces have been the main force fighting IS in northern Syria, capturing significant territory from the extremists over the past two years.

Wednesday’s explosion came as U.S.-backed Kurdish forces pressed ahead with their offensive on the IS-held town of Manbij also in northern Syria, further east.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the explosion targeted a center of the local Kurdish police and a nearby government building.

The explosion was so powerful it shattered the windows of shops in the Turkish town of Nusaybin, directly across the border. Two people were slightly hurt in Nusaybin, a witness said.

We’ll keep you updated as more details emerge.

God Bless.
