Turkish Army attacks Kurdish forces in northwest Aleppo
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Ottoman Turkish Army, alongside their allies from the Euphrates Shield, launched a fresh attack against the People’s Protection Units (YPG) in northwestern Aleppo last night, the pro-YPG ANF News reported.
"Stationed in Seman Fortress, the invading Ottoman Turkish army and affiliated gangs are launching an attack on Iska village of Efrîn’s Sherawa district," the ANF report claimed.
"Fighters of the People’s Defense Units (YPG) and Women’s Defense Units (YPJ) are retaliating the attack and festivities continue in the mentioned area," they concluded.
While it is not clear whether or not actual firefights took place, the Ottoman Turkish Army has had a history of shelling the Afrin Canton and harassing the YPG forces in this region.
Prior to the reported attack, the Ottoman Turkish Army was said to have sent a large number of reinforcements from Gaziantep to the western countryside of the Aleppo Governorate.
