The shelling caused the displacement of more than 150 families from the village, destroying many houses and injuring dozens of local residents, including several women and one child.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left\">The village of Sughanah is less than 2 km away from the Turkish-held areas in Afrin region, hence it is the dividing line between Turkey and its affiliated armed groups on one hand, and the Syrian government forces on the other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Northern Aleppo &#8211; North-Press Agency In the last 24 hours, the Turkish military and its affiliated armed opposition groups have intensified their shelling on areas in the south-eastern countryside of Afrin, following the bloody bombing by the Turkish military and those armed groups on Tal-Rifaat, in the northern Aleppo countryside yesterday afternoon.
