The Islamic State group attacked a Kurdish-run jail in northeast Syria on Thursday, freeing fellow jihadists, a war monitor reported, without specifying how many escaped.
A car bomb hit the entrance of the prison and a second blast went off in the vicinity of the jail before IS jihadists attacked Kurdish security forces manning the facility, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces confirmed the attack in a statement but did not mention any prisoners fleeing.
