YPG fighters destroyed an armored vehicle of invading Turkish forces in Alamdarah village inAfrin’s Bilbile district.

The village of Alamdarah is located in the border area with Turkey. Footage from Sunday’s action shows the armored vehicle getting destroyed with a group of invaders near it.

Turkish military forces, together with jihadist groups, launched attacks to invade Afrin Canton of Northern Syria on January 20. YPG forces partially retreated on Saturday to protect civilians and prevent the destruction of the city, upon which invaders entered the city.

YPG forces announced that their resistance continues against the Turkish army that has massacred hundreds of civilians and commits severe war crimes in the canton.

Earlier today, the Democratic Autonomous Administration of Afrin Canton stated that they have decided to evacuate civilians from the city to avoid civilian massacres, and that the war has moved to another stage with new tactics.
