UN chief Ban Ki-moon on Friday condemned "heinous" attacks that killed and injured dozens at Kurdish new year celebrations in northeastern Syria.
A suicide bomber killed more than 33 people gathered for new year celebrations in the province of Hassakeh, while dozens more were wounded in another blast at a separate feast.
"These heinous attacks took place during a holiday that is customarily a time for Kurdish communities to come together to share their hopes for the new year," the UN secretary general said in a statement following the attacks.
