SOHR sources have reported that Turkish forces have established a new military post in the area of “Putin-Erdogan”. The point was established in the town of Qastoun in Sahl Al-Ghab, north-west of Hama, after reconnaissance tours in the area for several days, where vehicles, soldiers and military and logistical equipment were and brought to the area.

Two days ago, reliable sources informed SOHR that Turkish forces established a new military post near Afes village in the north of Saraqeb city, which is under the control of regime forces and loyal non-Syrian militias in eastern Idlib, after reconnaissance tours in the area.
