2023-06-14
[NPASYRIA] The Manbij Military Council (MMC), affiliated with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), announced on Tuesday that two of its fighters were killed in two separate Ottoman Turkish drone attacks in the countryside of Manbij, northern Syria.

The MMC said in a statement that a Ottoman Turkish reconnaissance drone struck an MMC checkpoint in the village of Dirrig, and that a similar attack hit an MMC post in the vicinity of the Qaraqozaq Bridge, east of Manbij.

The statement added that both attacks, combined, resulted in the death of two MMC fighters.

Earlier today, Ottoman Turkish forces and their affiliated opposition factions of the Syrian National Army (SNA) also shelled the village of Tukhar in northern Manbij with dozens of artillery and mortar shells from their base located in the village of Tukhar Kabir.

A local source from the village told North Press that "the Ottoman Turkish shelling damaged residents’ properties and caused a state of panic among the villagers.

The source noted that the village is populated and that there are posts of the Syrian government forces scattered in the northern part of the village.
