Aleppo province: SOHR activists have documented the injury of a regime soldier today, after Turkish forces targeted Qoran village eastern of Ain Al-Arab (Kobani) in the eastern Aleppo countryside.

On the same context, Turkish forces fired heavy machineguns on Tel Kaniyah and Mazra’at Dauood villages eastern of Ain Al-Arab, however no casualties have been reported yet.

Yesterday, SOHR activists documented the death of a regime soldier by Turkish soldiers’ bullets in a police station holding regime forces in Qarmough village eastern of Ain Al-Arab (Kobani) in the eastern Aleppo countryside.

Moreover, Turkish forces fired shelled with heavy weaponry positions in the village and its surroundings.

On January 10, a Turkish drone bombarded two positions in the countryside of Ain Al-Arab (Kobani) city. One of the attacks hit Tarmeak village, three kilometre far from the centre of Kobani while the second is still unknown.

On the other hand, the Turkish forces fired artillery projectiles on unpopulated areas in east Kobani city. No casualties or damages were reported.

The Turkish escalation came after a recent IED explosion killed three soldiers of the Turkish forces on January 8 on the opposite side of Baghdak at the administrative border between Aleppo and Al-Raqqah provinces.
