Turkish drone targets village in Syria’s Tel Tamr
TEL TAMR, Syria (North Press) – On Thursday, a Turkish drone targeted a village in the town of Tel Tamr, north of Hasakah Governorate, northeast Syria.
A military source informed North Press that “a Turkish drone targeted the village of al-Tawila in the western countryside of Tel Tamr.”
The source further mentioned that there were no reported human casualties as a result of the targeting. However, the incident caused damage to the material possessions and homes of residents in the village.
Tel Tamr, which has a population of about 25,000 and is 30 km away from the Syrian-Turkish border, is of strategic importance as it is a junction on the M4 Highway linking Hasakah to Aleppo governorate in the northwest.
The town has been under constant attacks by Turkish forces and the Turkish-backed armed opposition factions, aka Syrian National Army (SNA), for more than two years.
Parts of the northern and western countryside of the town and the entire southern countryside are protected by the Syriac Military Council and the Assyrian Khabour Guards Forces, while the SNA controls the northern countryside up to the city of Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain) on the northern border of Syria.
