This is the most current map of the situation on the ground. The Yellow is YPG/YPJ Kurdish area. Cyan is the area that is occupied by the Turks.
With bombs falling a mile away in the city of Afrin, the Kurds dance in the streets in defiance of the NATO Turkey's bombs, drones, aircraft and Turkey's Al Qaeda terrorists.
Efrîn this morning. Turkey & the genocidal army of AQ/Daesh are so close by. You see their bombs maybe a mile away. Yet people keep resisiting. Singing. Dancing. Together. It is their land. They won't leave it ✌️@ICafrinresist pic.twitter.com/CmVeAxSXz0
