Tensions remain high in northern Latakia as Turkish troops dig in
[ALMASDARNEWS] The situation in northern Latakia has remained very tense after several hours of sporadic missile and artillery strikes between the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and Ottoman Turkish-backed rebels.
Earlier today, a Ottoman Turkish military convoy entered the northern countryside of the Latakia Governorate, which is a clear violation of the Astana peace agreement.
The Ottoman Turkish troops reportedly positioned themselves in the northern part of the Jabal al-Akrad region, prompting the Syrian military to fire several warning shots towards the rebel forces.
It is still not clear why the Ottoman Turkish military is in northern Latakia; however, a source from the Syrian Army believes they are preparing to setup their 13th observation point.
