On Sunday, amid shelling by armed opposition groups, Turkish forces sent a military convoy to the de-escalation zones in northwest Syria, concurrent with Syrian government forces’ attempts to advance in the southern Idlib countryside.

A field source told North-Press that "on Sunday morning, Turkish forces sent a convoy consisting of dozens of military and logistic vehicles through Kafr Lossin crossing to its observation points toward the southern countryside of Idlib.”

According to the source, on Saturday-Sunday at midnight, Syrian government forces tried to advance on the Ruwayha front in southern Idlib countryside, where they exchanged artillery fire with armed opposition groups, resulting in deaths and injuries on both sides.

On Saturday, artillery was exchanged on the Zawiya Mountain front and in the western Aleppo countryside.

On Saturday, armed opposition groups targeted government forces' sites in Kafr Nabl Hazarin in Zawiya Mountain in response to the targeting of its own sites in Zawiya Mountain.

The ceasefire agreement entered its 73rd successive day amid repeated violations by Syrian government forces and Turkish-backed opposition groups, as Turkish forces continue to bring reinforcements to the de-escalation zones, bringing the number of observation posts to 38.
