No group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet.
Following the explosion, the Turkish-backed factions were put on high alert. They have immediately accused the Syrian Democratic Forces and the Kurdish factions in carrying out the attack.
Kurdish guerilla groups, including the Afrin Liberation Forces, have been waging insurgency in Afrin and in other Turkish-occupied areas in the northern countryside of Aleppo for several years, since the invasion of Turkish forces.
