The powerful blast took the lives of over 20 people, including several US servicemen. Daesh* reportedly claimed responsibility for the deadly attack soon afterwards.

A CCTV camera captured the moment when a bomb rocked a busy street in the Kurdish-held city of Manbij on 16 January. A woman, wearing a black niqab, can be seen on the street just seconds prior to the blast, but it's unclear whether she actually was a suicide bomber and responsible for the attack. The footage, published by the outlet EHA News, shows several pedestrians near the epicentre of the explosion falling to the ground, with a boy running away scared immediately after the blast.
