People protested against a Turkish-Russian patrol through the village of Dêrna Axa in the district of Çilaxa in Cizîrê Canton. While the military vehicles were pelted with stones, the Russian military fired gas cartridges at the crowd. A young woman, Evîn Îsa, was hit and injured by an armoured car. She was hospitalised.
The patrols by Russian and Turkish troops through the autonomous region of northern and eastern Syria are the result of an agreement that Turkey concluded with Russia on 22 October 2019 following the occupation of Serêkaniyê (Ras al-Ain) and Girê Spî (Tal Abyad) in violation of international law. The patrols were suspended for a long time and were only recently resumed.
