A blast killed at least one person in a region of north Syria controlled by militants groups, a witness and a war monitor said on Saturday.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): A blast killed at least one person in a region of north Syria controlled by militants groups, a witness and a war monitor said on Saturday.

The explosion in Azaz was caused by a car bomb, said the war monitor, the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, and hit a sit-in to demand new elections to the local council, the witness said.

The Observatory said one person was killed and others injured. The witness said two were killed and 25 injured.

It comes as Damascus has mobilized forces for an offensive on the adjacent militant-held area in and around Idlib province.
