SULAIMANI — Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced on Tuesday (March 21) the body of Shervan Kobani, the commander of the Anti-Terror Units (YAT), and the remains of eight other SDF members have been returned to Syria from the Kurdistan Region.

Shervan Kobani was among nine SDF members who died in the crash of two helicopters in Duhok last week.

The SDF said the victims’ bodies were returned to Rojava after a series of negotiations.

The victims’ remains will be buried in a ceremony in Hasaka on Wednesday which the General Commander of SDF forces, Mazloum Abdi, will attend, according to the group’s statement.
