Russian helicopters arrives in al-Bab city | Russian and Turkish officers meet in Jabal Sheikh Oqail base

Aleppo province: Reliable sources have told SOHR that Russian officers in helicopters headed arrived at the Turkish military base in Jabal Sheikh Oqail in al-Bab city in the east of Aleppo in order to meet with Turkish officers. However, the reasons behind this meeting remained unknown.

 

During the meeting, several Russian helicopters were seen flying at a low altitude over al-Bab city until the meeting was over.

 

This development coincides with the military movements in north-east Syria and the Turkish threats of launching a military operation in SDF-held areas, as well as the arrival of large military reinforcement of regime forces and SDF on the frontlines between Turkish forces and their proxy factions on one hand, and Syria Democratic Forces on the other.
