KOBANI, Syria (North Press) – Turkish forces shelled on Friday night a post of Syrian government forces in the countryside of the city of Kobani in northern Syria.

Locals told North Press that two artillery shells fell on the outskirt of Tel She’ir village, some 4km west of Kobani.

Since November 20, intense and wide spread aerial operation is being carried out by the Turkish forces against north and northeast Syria which has claimed tens of lives and destroyed facilities and infrastructure along the whole border strip from Aleppo northern countryside in the northwest up to Derik (al-Malikiyah) in the northeast. 

However, no further reports on damages or casualties have been reported so far. 

About 20 Syrian soldiers have been killed and dozens more were injured in the recent Turkish bombardment on north and northeast Syria.
