The Turkish army and its jihadist mercenary troops are continuing the wave of attacks on the autonomous regions of northern and eastern Syria that began three weeks ago. On Saturday, numerous villages in the region were bombed again, and some villages suffered massive material damage. While villages from Afrin to Til Temir were targeted, there have been no reports of human casualties so far.

In the shattered canton of Afrin, the aggression was directed against the not fully occupied Sherawa district. A Turkish combat drone bombed the village of Eqîbê, about 20 kilometres south-east of central Afrin. The full extent of the damage is not yet known. Turkish reconnaissance drones are circling in the sky above the region and in the neighbouring canton of Shehba.

Artillery strikes by the occupation forces targeted the villages of Cîşan, Koran and Merc Ismail in Kobanê. The area in the east of the canton borders the occupied Girê Spî (Tal Abyad) and is repeatedly attacked both from exit points of occupation and from Turkish territory.

In Til Temir, the aggression of the occupation forces is concentrated in the village of Tall al-Lubn, about 17 kilometres to the west of the town. According to reports from the front line between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Turkish jihadist troops, the attacks are being carried out with howitzers.

The village of Gozeliye in Til Temir region, the district of Ain Issa, the refugee camp on the outskirts of the district and the M4 highway were also attacked by the occupation forces today.

The region of Manbij was also targeted by the invaders. According to the Manbij Military Council (MMC), at least seven artillery shells hit the village of Saydiyah, which is located almost 20 kilometres northwest of the city centre.
