One civilian male was wounded in an alleged Turkish artillery attack on his home in Bibaka village, according to a single source.

The victim, Şiyar Bekir, spoke to the source IC Afrin resistance: “My name is Siyar Bekir. I am from Bibaka village in Bilbil. Yesterday [February 11th] at 7:30 pm they threw mortars on my house. I don’t really know which weapon, maybe mortars, maybe rockets. I was injured here. My stomach was also injured and I got shrapnel in my leg. It was the Turkish army. They call us terrorists but we’re not. I normally fix the generators in my village. What did we do to them? We are civilians, not soldiers. And they threw five rockets on us.”
