and its affiliated factions.

Ottoman Turkish forces and their affiliated armed opposition factions, also known as Syrian National Army (SNA), are controlling the city of Azaz and its countryside in the east of Shahba Region, north of Aleppo.

An exclusive source told North Press that 15 cars and an armored vehicle accompanied by two Russian helicopters roamed the positions of the Russian forces in the town of Tel Rifaat and the villages of Harbel, al-Wahshiya, Faisal Mill.

Several cars and an armored vehicle carrying Russian and Syrian commanders entered the Russian base in the village of al-Wahshiya in Tel Rifaat countryside and returned after half an hour, the source added.

The town of Tel Rifaat, 35 km north of Aleppo city, has been a shelter for Afrin displaced people since 2018 following the Ottoman Turkish invasion of Afrin and its countryside which resulted in the displacement of about 300.000 of the original inhabitants.

There are 1.662 displaced families from Afrin and 35 displaced families from Idlib live in Tel Rifaat, according to statistics carried out by Autonomous Administration of Afrin, which is currently operating in the northern countryside of Aleppo.

There are also 630 families that include about 3.000 people of original residents in the town, according to the same source.
