SOHR sources had reported rocket fire by Turkish forces and their proxies in the early hours of Wednesday morning, which targeted the Kurdish-held areas of Samouqah and Sadd al-Shahbaa in the northern countryside of Aleppo. The Turkish rockets also hit positions in Kurheyouk, Qarrat Wayran and al-Kawikly villages in al-Bab countryside in east Aleppo countryside, but no casualties were reported.
