Turkish forces shell villages in Syria’s Kobani
RAQAA, Syria (North Press) – Turkish forces shelled on Wednesday villages in the southeastern countryside of Kobani, northern Syria, with heavy artillery.
The shelling affected the villages of Qijkran and Abu Nituna near Kobani Cement Factory, a local source told North Press.
“Approximately, four shells hit the vicinity of the factory,” the source added.
Days ago, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Ankara would soon launch new military operations along its southern borders to create “30-km deep safe zones in response to threats coming from these regions.”
Turkey has recently intensified its attacks by shelling the border villages with heavy weapons to intimidate the population, displace them and replace them with the families of its affiliated armed factions, known as Syrian National Army (SNA).
