After bringing regime military reinforcement | Turkish forces destroy regime positions in Abu Rasin countryside

Al-Hasakah Province – Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: Syrian Observatory activists have monitored renewed Turkish bombardment on Abu Rasin countryside (Zarkan), targeting an ammunition depot and regime military posts in Harmalah village in rural Al-Hasakah, completely destroying them, amid reports of casualties among the depot’s guards.

 

Also an artillery shell fell on civilian houses in the area, causing material damage.

 

On the other hand, SOHR sources reported today that regime forces brought in military reinforcement, including heavy weapons and tanks, from their positions on the back lines to the frontlines in Abu Rasin countryside for unknown reasons.

 

Yesterday, Syria Democratic Forces shelled Turkish military posts in Bab Al-Khair and Al-Dawudiyyah bases in Al-Hasakah countryside. SOHR sources confirmed that several military personnel injured, amid reports of the death of two Turkish soldiers and injury of others in Bab Al-Khair base, after being hit with a guided missile.

 

In this context, SOHR activists monitored a Turkish helicopter landing in Al-Hasakah countryside in “Peace Spring” areas, while ambulances were seen leaving the Turkish base in the morning.

 

According to SOHR sources, the intensive Turkish bombardment on positions of SDF and regime forces was a reaction to attacking the Turkish soldiers.

 

SOHR sources reported earlier this morning, civilian exodus from the villages and towns of Abu Rasin “Zarkan” to eastern villages and towns, for fear of Turkish recent escalating shelling on the area.

 

Meanwhile, Observatory activists had monitored Turkish rocket attacks on the villages and towns of Dada Abdal, Nuwehat, Safa, Haji Boubi, Tal Harmel, and the frontline and outskirts of Zarkan. The shelling caused material damage to civilian homes, and injured two regime soldiers.

 

Yesterday, SOHR sources said that Turkish military bases in the “Peace Spring” areas shelled places near regime positions on the outskirts of Abu Rasin (Zarkan) town in Al-Hasakah countryside, along with clashes with medium and heavy weapons between SDF and Turkish-backed factions, on frontlines of Dada Abdal, Nuihat, Basis and Mutamura in the same area.
