Turkish army attacks villages in Manbij

The Turkish state’s genocidal campaign seeking to invade North and East Syria in violation of international law has continued since October 9 amid increasingly ongoing attacks on civilian settlements.

In a press release, the Manbij Military Council reports Turkish artillery attacks on the villages of Hemra and Erîma. The invading troops fire from the occupied villages Sheikh Nasir and Shiwaha west of Manbij. Nothing is yet known about damage and losses.

The statement added that details of the attacks will be announced to the public later on.

With the significant deterioration of relations with Russia and yesterday's Syrian air attack, in which many Turkish soldiers were killed, Turkey has intensified its attacks on northern Syria.
