At least 22 people were killed and scores more injured in a suicide bombing on the outskirts of the northeastern Syrian city of Hasaka, the city’s mayor said.
The blast reportedly occurred during a Kurdish wedding when a suicide bomber detonated an improvised explosive device in the crowd. “The suicide bomber blew himself up at a wedding hall, located 400 meters away from the city of Hasakah,” the mayor of Hasakah, Zaal al-Ali, told Sputnik.

A Kurdistan24 reporter provided a different number of casualties, with 14 killed and 25 others wounded. According to the mayor, 22 people were killed and 33 more injured in the attack. Earlier reports said that 13 people lost their lives and 55 others were wounded.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. The people wounded in the explosion at the Sanabil Hall were taken to the national hospital in Hasakah.
The blast reportedly occurred early evening during a Kurdish wedding when a suicide bomber detonated an improvised explosive device in the crowd.
However, the Kurdish YPG (People's Protection Units) said in a statement that it wasn’t yet clear if the blast was caused by an explosive device or a suicide bomber.
Some unconfirmed reports also suggested that a female suicide bomber was responsible for the attack, according to Reuters.
