Areas held by Turkish forces | Six Russian air-to-air missiles struck “peace spring” area, while unidentified airstrike hit vicinity of Turkish outpost in Ras Al-Ain/Sere Kanye countryside

Unidentified aircraft has executed an airstrike on the vicinity of Al-Manajir town, south of Ras Al-Ain, “Sere Kanye,” in the “Peace Spring” area, where a Turkish post is located in the early hours of Thursday morning. However, it is still unknown whether this airstrike has been executed by a Russian or international coalition aircraft.

Moreover, Russian fighter jets have also carried out three rounds of airstrikes with six air-to-air missiles in Tel Abyad and Ras Al-Ain areas in the “Peace Spring” area.

SOHR sources have also reported that the “Peace Spring” area and areas controlled by SDF, close to the frontlines in the countryside of Aleppo, Hasakah and Al-Raqqah, have seen frequent flights by warplanes on Wednesday evening and into Thursday dawn. However, the identity of the warplanes remains unknown.

Yesterday, SOHR activists reported that a Russian warplane executed three airstrikes with air-to-air missiles over Tel Abyad and Ras Al-Ain areas in “Peace Spring” areas.

This came after Turkish forces brought military reinforcements to areas in northern of Al-Raqqah.

On May 24, SOHR activists monitored the arrival of a military convoy of dozens of armoured vehicles of Russian forces at their base in Ain Issa district, the “capital of Autonomous-Administration” north of Al-Raqqah.

According to Syrian Observatory sources, Russian forces started to erect soil barriers on the opposite side of a Turkish base located in Sayda town, north of Ain Issa. The reasons behind this development remained unknown.

This development came in light of the Turkish president’s talks about conducting military operations targeting areas controlled by SDF in northern Syria under the pretext of establishing a “safe zone.”
