According to the statement, the incident took place in the village of Julqan of Afrin town, where several others were also wounded.
Afrin is under the control of the Turkish forces and Ankara-backed Syrian Islamist groups since 2018 when the Turkish army overran the Kurdish town after an operation against the Syrian Kurdish fighters.
