In the vicinity of the city of Manbij in northern Syria, the artillery of the Turkish army opened fire on the positions of the Kurdish units of the People's Self-Defense Forces (SNS). This is reported by TASS with reference to the Kurdish news agency Firat.

According to the agency, Turkish troops fired 19 shells at the village of Sheikh Nasser, the other 19 at Es-Sayyad and Yalanly.

There were no data on dead and wounded civilians and material damage.

The Turkish attack followed in response to shelling by SNA fighters of the border town of Al-Bab, which is located 44 km from Aleppo. On Wednesday, February 2, nine members of the Syrian opposition groups, which are supported by Ankara, were killed, 32 were injured.

In October last year, Turkey began to increase its military presence in Syria. First, military reinforcements of the Turkish forces arrived in the city of Ras al-Ain in the northwest of the province of Hasaka. Sources from the SANA agency reported that various equipment, including armored personnel carriers, had been deployed to the region.

During the transfer over the Syrian-Turkish border, active Turkish UAV flights were recorded. At the same time, the Syrian city of Ras al-Ain is already under the control of the Turkish side.
