| [SYRIAHR] Syrian Observatory activists have reported that fierce clashes erupted between the Internal Security Forces (Asayish) and regime-backed National Defence Forces (NDF), in Al-Qamishli city. The clashes are concentrated in Halku area where NDF have unleashed an attack on Asayish forces. Reliable reported suggested there were casualties in the ranks of both sides. Meanwhile, Russian forces and Autonomous Administration interfered attempting to defuse tension between both conflicting parties. On Sunday, SOHR sources reported that two explosions rocked Al-Qamishli city, as unknown assailants attacked the headquarters of the “National Defense Forces” in Al-Qamishli city near Al-Salam roundabout with grenades. Meanwhile, ...back at the buffalo wallow, Yellow Wolf clutched at his chest and fell from his horse... NDF members opened fire on a checkpoint belonging to Asayish Forces. No casualties were reported. The Internal Security Forces (Asayish) issued a statement a few days earlier accusing the regime-backed “National Defense Forces” (NDF) of attacking Kurdish checkpoint in Al-Qamishli city in Al-Hasakah countryside. SOHR obtained a copy of the statement which reads “militiamen affiliated to the regime-backed National Defense Forces threw two grenades yesterday, Thursday the 16th of April, on a checkpoint of Asayish Forces in Al-Qamishli.” The statement illustrated that one grenade exploded, while the other one was defused, while the explosion caused material damage only. “The area has been swept, just in case there are dangerous or explosive ordnance left by the militiamen” the statement added.
