Turkey attacks Syrian regime troops

In the north of Syria, military posts of the regime have been attacked by the Turkish army. In Shehba, a base of Syrian forces was attacked by a drone.

Turkey continues its belligerent aggression against the areas of the Autonomous Administration of North and Syria (AANES) unabated. In addition to civilian settlement areas and combat units of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), the focus of the attacks is increasingly on positions of the Syrian armed forces.

In the canton of Shehba, a military post in the village of Minix (Minaq) north of the city of Tel Rifat was bombed by a Turkish combat drone last night. According to military sources, there was damage to property. From Kobanê, shelling was reported at a regime outpost in the east of the canton. No reliable information on the extent of the bombing was available at last.

On 3 October, four Syrian soldiers were killed by Turkish aerial bombardment in the village of Cîşan in the east of Kobanê. The civilian population was also attacked that day by Turkish troops with heavy machine guns. The attacks were directed against the village of Qeremox near Cîşan. Two soldiers of the Syrian armed forces had been killed there in a Turkish drone strike on 18 September.
