Turkish shelling stops villagers from farming
2022-02-08


DERIK, Syria (North Press) – On Monday, an American patrol headed to the village of Ain Diwar in the countryside of Derik, far northeast Syria, to check the destruction caused by the Turkish bombing days ago.

An American patrol of four military armored vehicles arrived in the village of Ain Diwar. The troops walked through the village and visited the houses that had been bombed.

On February 2, the village of Ain Diwar was bombed by Turkish forces.

Two civilians were wounded, two houses were destroyed and five other houses were burnt in the Turkish bombardment.

The patrol members talked with the residents about the points from which the Turkish shells are launched, which randomly targeted civilians’ property.

The villagers who spoke to the patrol members said “it is the planting season and it is necessary to sprinkle fertilizer on the agricultural land on the border,” but they fear being targeted by the Turkish side.

The residents of the village called on the patrol members to maintain a constant presence in the border area to avoid being targeted by Turkey.

The patrol members checked the destroyed houses, photographed the bombing sites and collected some shrapnel from the place and the bombing sites.

In a related context, a Russian patrol passed through the same village his morning without inspecting the bombing sites.
