A few days after arrival of regime military reinforcement | Turkish forces send large reinforcement to “Euphrates Shield” areas in rural Aleppo

Aleppo province: SOHR activists have reported seeing a Turkish column crossing into al-Bab city in “Euphrates Shield” area in the north-eastern countryside of Aleppo. The Turkish convoy comprised tanks, heavy artillery pieces, racked personnel carriers and armoured vehicles.

 

This reinforcement coincided with bringing in other batches of military reinforcement by Turkish forces and their proxy factions in “Peace Spring” areas and the Syria-Turkey border strip opposite Ain al-Arab city (Kobani) in the past few days.

 

Meanwhile, cautions calm has prevailed on the frontlines between Kurdish-held areas and areas controlled by Turkish forces and their proxies for the past 48 hours.

 

Yesterday, SOHR sources reported clashes between factions of the Turkish-backed “National Army” and Kurdish forces on the frontlines of Anab village in Afrin countryside in north-western Aleppo. However, no casualties were reported.

 

On October 31, SOHR sources reported that regime forces sent massive military reinforcement, comprising tanks, rocket launchers, artillery pieces, logistical and military supplies and soldiers, to the frontlines with the factions of the Turkish-backed “National Army” in Tel Rahal, Daghelbash and Tel Zawyan adjacent al-Bab city in the eastern countryside of Aleppo. It is worth noting that the regime reinforcement was escorted by Russian helicopters.
