Turkey targets Russian base’s outskirt in Aleppo
ALEPPO, Syria (North Press) – Turkish forces targeted on Tuesday the vicinity of a Russian post between the village of Kishta’r and Faisal Mill in the northern countryside of Aleppo Governorate, with artillery shells.
An informed source told North Press that Turkey shelled the post with seven shells, without recording any casualties.
The Russian forces did not respond to the attack, as they only checked the targeted site and recorded the damage, according to the source.
Since November 20, the Turkish forces have conducted a large scale and unprecedented air and ground bombardment against northern Syria.
In the days followed, nothing was spared from the Turkish shelling including a base jointly run by the US-led Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Hasakah Governorate.
On November 23, a Turkish drone struck the joint Russian- SDF al-Mabaqer base in the town of Tel Tamr, north of Hasakah, in which an SDF fighter lost his life and three others were injured.
On November 26, several protests were organized, most notably those that took place in front of bases of the Global Coalition and Russia in Qamishli, northeast Syria, where protesters handed letters to US and Russian leaders there.
Protesters demanded the abovementioned parties take firm stances regarding Turkey’s recent attacks, accusing Russia of granting Turkey a green light to launch airstrikes on northern Syria.
On November 28, Russian Military Police (MP) cancelled a joint patrol with the Turkish forces that was scheduled to be conducted in the eastern countryside of Kobani, northern Syria, due to Turkish military escalation on the area, according to an exclusive source.
