Hostilities | Ankara-backed factions and al-Bab Military Council Forces exchange machine guns fire

SOHR activists say that exchange of fire on frontlines in Manbij countryside in north-eastern Aleppo, between Ankara-backed factions and the al-Bab Military Council, has lasted until this morning.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has monitored renewed shelling and exchange of fire between the two sides on al-Bougaz frontline, west of Manbij, amid reports of casualties on both sides.

Yesterday, the Syrian Observatory monitored sporadic clashes between the forces of the “Manbij Military Council” and factions of the Ankara-backed National Army, near the village of Al-Bugaz, west of the city of Manbij, north-east of Aleppo. No casualties were reported so far.
