ISIS has claimed responsibility for an attack on the Syrian Interior Ministry in Raqqa, northern Syria, according to a statement released by the organization and reported by N12. The statement did not specify the timing, method, or casualty toll of the attack.
Earlier on Tuesday, The Zioneer reported an ISIS suicide bombing targeting members of the HTS (Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham) jihadist group in Raqqa province. The two incidents underline the continued presence and operational capability of ISIS in the region, despite the group's territorial defeat years ago. Raqqa served as the de facto capital of the ISIS caliphate until its recapture by U.S.-backed forces in 2017.
No further details have been released, and the claim has not been independently verified.
