Turkey Bombs Two Villages In Manbij Countryside, North Aleppo
2022-06-02


Turkish forces bombed on Wednesday the villages of Awn al-Dadat and Muhsinli, north of the city of Manbij in northern Syria, with mortar shells.

“The bombing started this afternoon and lasted for about two hours,” an informed source from the Manbij Military Council told North Press.

The populated villages were struck with 20, causing a state of panic among the residents, according to the source.

The Turkish bombing coincided with a Turkish drone targeting the village of Arab Hassan with several bombs.

The source did not mention any material damage or causalties.

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) liberated Manbij from ISIS rule in 2016, and the city is now under the control of the SDF-aligned Manbij Military Council.



A drone targeted on Wednesday the medical clinics building in the town of Tel Rifaat in the northern countryside of Aleppo, causing great damage to the building.

The building includes gynecological clinics and pediatric surgery. However, no casualties were recorded because the building was empty, an eyewitness told North Press.

Since early May, the Turkish forces have escalated the shelling of villages in the northern countryside of Aleppo triggering panic and fear among residents in addition to material losses.

On Tuesday, Turkish artillery fired shells on the village of Aqiba, Soghana and Deir Jamal, south of Afrin, according to a local source.

The villages’ residents stayed in the basements, fearing of the heavy shelling, the source indicated.

The town of Tel Rifaat, which embraces part of the IDPs of Afrin region, has been threatened with invasion by Turkey and its affiliated factions since residents of Afrin fled their areas and headed towards the northern countryside of Aleppo amidst successive shelling that the town is witnessing.

Syrian government forces accompanied by Russian forces are running the town of Tel Rifaat and its vicinities, where their posts have been deployed since 2018.



Turkish forces shelled on Wednesday two villages in the north of Manbij, a city in Aleppo eastern countryside, northern Syria.

Media Center of Manbij Military Council, affiliated with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), said that the Turkish forces shelled the two villages of al-Mehsinli and Awn Dadat with heavy artillery.

The center added that the Turkish forces fired about 14 shells. However, no casualties were reported.
