Despite dramatic consequences of earthquake | Turkish forces bombard Tel Refaat northern Aleppo

Aleppo province: A civilian in his 70s was killed and another was injured today in an artillery fire by Turkish forces, which targeted Tal Refaat town in northern Aleppo countryside. The bombardment, which is still ongoing, has caused material damage, amid a state of panic and chaos among people and fear of expected more earthquakes and aftershocks.

 

This coincides with the flight of a Russian drone over the region since early morning.

 

On January 28, SOHR reported that intermittent clashes erupted with medium and heavy weapons between Kurdish and regime forces on one hand and the National Army factions on the other, on the outskirts of Marae’ city in northern Aleppo countryside.

 

This coincided with Turkish shelling on Hirbal and Al-Shaikh Issa villages in northern Aleppo countryside, in areas held by Kurdish and regime forces.
