In particular, it is reported that many villages near Ain Issa and Tal Tamr and the M4 motorway were bombarded with artillery from regions that are under Turkish control.

A Turkish drone was also observed flying over the targeted areas.

As Rojava Information Center reports: “Turkish-backed SNA forces have shelled NES on the Tel Tamir & Ayn Issa fronts today. Near Ayn Issa, the villages of Bir Issa, Debs, Hoshan, Fatsa, Mushairfa, Khalidiya, Sidon, the Ain Issa camp, the Saqr Restaurant & the M4 road were shelled from Turkish-occupied territory.”
