Routine patrol | Russian forces tour surrounding areas of Al-Malikiyyah

SOHR activists have monitored Russian forces patrolling the surrounding areas of Al-Malikiyyah town in the north-eastern countryside of Al-Hasakah.

 

Yesterday, SOHR activists monitored Russian forces patrolling the surrounding areas of Al-Qahtamiyyah town in Al-Qamishli countryside, as a part of the Russian routine movements in the region.

 

Observatory sources reported earlier that day that the people of the villages of “Karki Laki” district in the countryside of Al-Qamishli city rejected the setting up of a Russian military base in their areas.

 

According to SOHR sources, residents from Hayaka and Sermasakh Tahtani villages of “Karki Laki” district headed to the tent where Russian forces were stationed, and expressed their rejection of establishing a Russian military base in their villages.

 

Under the residents’ pressure, the Russian forces reversed their decision and returned to Al-Qamishli city.
