"During the second week of August, our units carried out a series of operations in the villages of Afrin’s Shera and Mabata districts. As a result, several Turkish soldiers and mercenaries were killed.

On August 8th, several days after being seriously wounded in a bomb explosion in Afrin’s Mabata district, mercenary commander Abdul Razzaq al-Bakr has died.

On August 11th, our units detonated a motorcycle-bomb on the road leading to the village of Kafr Jannah in Afrin’s Shera district, targeting a joint patrol conducted by the Turkish army and the mercenaries. While the death of a Turkish soldier and the wounding of another one has been confirmed, a number of mercenaries were killed as well."
