DAMASCUS, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) -- A car bomb went off in Syria's rebel-held northern city of Azaz in the countryside of Aleppo province on Monday, wounding five people, a war monitor reported.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the car bomb was detonated in southeast of Azaz which is controlled by the Turkey-backed militant groups, adding that one of the wounded is in critical condition.

It's the latest in a series of explosion rocking rebel-held areas in northern Syria, particularly in the northern countryside of Aleppo near the Turkish border.

Earlier in the day, a roadside bomb went off in the Afrin city also in the northern countryside of Aleppo, killing one person, according to the Observatory.

The activist group repeatedly reported about the state of lawlessness in rebel-held areas in northern Syria as many of those areas are strongholds for various rebel groups which are not always on the same page.

Explosions even returned this month in safe areas such as in the capital Damascus, where two low-scale explosions took place leaving injuries.

Also in January, a car bomb went off in Latakia city in northwestern Syria, killing one and wounding four others. Enditem
