At least one person has been killed and 11 others wounded in a bomb attack that targeted Syrian Kurds in the country’s northern province of Hasakah.

The casualties came after a bomber blew himself up in an office belonging to Kurdish fighters near Hadaya Hotel in the al-Qamishli district on Sunday, according to Syrian state media and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Meanwhile, Syria’s official SANA news agency reported on Sunday that Syrian forces foiled two attempts by Daesh to infiltrate into the village of Um Jamme from the adjacent Rajem al-Qaser Village in the eastern countryside of the central province of Homs.

More than 222,000 people have died in Syria since March 2011, according to reports.

The United Nations (UN) says more than 3.8 million Syrians have left their country since the beginning of the conflict. Over 7.2 million Syrians have also become internally displaced.
