Turkish rising escalation in SDF-held areas |Turkish forces and its factions bombard al-Raqqah countryside

SOHR activists have reported that the Turkish forces and their proxies have bombarded with heavy artillery and mortar shells Qazali’s silos and villages, Kagel Abeed, Areeda and Afedko villages on the frontlines with SDF in the western countryside of Tel Abyad northern of al-Raqqah. However, no casualties have been reported yet.

The attacks have been carried out amid Turkish escalations along the border and cross-line with SDF and its military formations which work under SDF commands.
