Syrian state TV said a truck loaded with explosions blew up on the western edge of the town of Qamishli, near the Turkish border, on Wednesday. Minutes later, a motorcycle packed with explosions blew up in the same area.
The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the attack near a Kurdish security forces headquarters was the deadliest of its kind in the city for years.
The suicide bomber used a VBIED to carry out the attack in the Al-Halaliyah District of western Al-Qamishli; this district is governed by the Kurdish PYD.
More than 170 people injured in the attack.
