Clashes erupted Friday morning after a so-called 'Rojava-Peshmerga' group affiliated to the KDP of South Kurdistan forcibly attempted to enter the areas held by Shengal Resistance Units (YBŞ) in Xanesor town of Shengal.

Reports suggest that the KDP group suffered many losses during the clashes, after which they demanded a ceasefire. Clashes therewith ceased at noon but tension continues since.

Shengal/Women's Defense Units (YBŞ/YJŞ) tightened security measures yesterday and last night.

According to ANF reporters on the ground, YBŞ Command will make a statement today regarding the latest situation at scene.
