The Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) mercenaries based in Hosheriyê village are bombarding the village of Bir Hiso in the south of Kobanê and the vicinity of Qereqozaq Bridge.

According to reports from the ground, the shelling that started at around 14.45 local time is targeting civilian settlements.

The Qereqozax bridge is of strategic importance for the defence of Kobanê and the entire autonomous regions east of the Euphrates. Turkish-backed mercenaries of the SNA and the Turkish army have been trying for weeks to break the resistance of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), confronting relentless resistance.
