Activists and medics have confirmed that no fewer than 14 people have been killed in a truck bomb explosion in the Turkish-controlled town of Al-Bab in northwest Syria.
According to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the explosion on Tuesday near a bus station also wounded at least 40 people.
Meanwhile, the Syrian Civil Defence, also known as the White Helmets, said a rescue operation is underway as at the time of filing this report.
Speaking with journalists, a witness said the blast occurred when a large truck bomb went off in a crowded area in the town controlled by Turkish-backed rebel factions.
However, videos and images circulated by activists on social media showed large plumes of smoke rising from the blast site, along with several fires and damaged buildings.
