The YPG press centre has released a statement on the latest actions carried out in Afrin.

The statement reads as follows:

"Within the scope of the second phase of the Resistance of the Age in occupied Afrin, our forces continue their operations against the Turkish invasion army and its jihadist mercenary allies. Between 7 and 8 September, our forces carried out two distinct operations in Afrin’s Rajo and Shera districts.

On September 7, one of our units set up an ambush on the road leading to Afrin’s Shera district, targeting one of the mercenaries of the Hamza Division named Abdulrahman al-Zaher and originally from Azaz. As a result, the mercenary was killed.

On September 8, our unit set up an ambush in Afrin’s Rajo district, this time targeting a member of the Ahrar al-Sharqiya mercenary fraction. The terrorist has been killed in the operation.
