RAQQA, Syria (North Press) – Four people, including two civilians, were injured in violent clashes that erupted between two opposition factions of the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) in a town in northern Raqqa.

An SNA military source told North Press, “Clashes occurred between the SNA factions of Suqour al-Shamal and Kataib al-Khattab in the middle of the town of Suluk, in northern Raqqa.”

The source added that the clashes took place near a post of the SNA’s Military Police and resulted in the injury of two civilians, including a woman, in addition to two members of the Kataib al-Khattab faction.

The source noted that the dispute arose after Kataib al-Khattab seized a fuel truck belonging to a leader in Suqour al-Shamal at the Tufaha crossing upon its arrival from Raqqa.

The source pointed out that heavy machine guns and RPG-7s  were used near the Military Police post without the latter doing anything to stop the clashes.
