SDF infiltration | Turkish soldier killed in al-Raqqah countryside

Al-Hasakah province: Turkish Defense Ministry mourned the death of a soldier of Turkish forces by manslaughter while he was playing with his weapon, in the past few hours, in one of the Turkish training camps in Tal Abyad city in “Peace Spring” areas controlled by Turkish forces and factions of the National Army in east al-Raqqah countryside.

The accident came after SOHR sources reported yesterday an infiltration by the Syrian Democratic Forces in the past two days into a position of Turkish forces in the vicinity of Ain Essa in north al-Raqqah countryside. SDF attacked the positions and caused casualties before its withdrawal. However, the Turkish forces reacted with heavy strikes on posts of SDF that fired back.
