At least 10 people were killed when an Islamic State suicide bomber blew himself up in a village in northern Syria in the early hours of Tuesday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said.
The blast took place in al-Mashi, which is in the countryside around the city of Manbij and wounded another 20 people, it said. US-backed forces captured Manbij and its surrounding areas from Islamic State in August.

The militant group is launching attacks against those forces in the Manbij area, the British-based Observatory says. Since the Manbij operation, a Kurdish contingent of the US-backed Syria Democratic Forces has withdrawn from the city, the Pentagon said last month, but non-Kurdish forces from the SDF-allied Manbij military council remained.
