Amid exchange of fire | Clashes erupt between “Manbij Military Council Forces” and “National Army” factions in western Manbij

SOHR sources have reported that violent clashes erupted between factions of the “National Army” and SDF-backed “Manbij Military Council Forces” on the frontlines of Al-Boghaz and Al-Kawikli in Manbij countryside in eastern Aleppo. The clashes, which erupted in the early hours of Friday morning and last for hours, coincided with exchange of rocket fire between the two sides. However, no casualties have been reported.

 

Yesterday, Turkish forces stationed in Al-Shuwayha base in the north-eastern countryside of Aleppo fired several artillery shells on Al-Boghaz and Al-Kawikli villages which are controlled by the SDF-backed “Manbij Military Council” in the eastern countryside of Aleppo. Meanwhile, the Turkish forces fired flares near frontlines in Al-Bab and Manbij cities in eastern Aleppo. However, no casualties were reported.

 

SOHR activists documented earlier the death of a member of the SDF-backed “Manbij Military Council,” while thwarting an infiltration operation carried out by groups of the Turkish-backed “National Army” in the villages of Al-Mohsenli and Jandal in the northern countryside of Manbij, east of Aleppo, amid reports of the death of some attackers.
