Syria.. Intense Turkish air raids on the northern countryside of Aleppo
On Saturday/Sunday night, Turkish warplanes carried out intense air raids, targeting areas of deployment of the Kurdish and Syrian forces in the northern countryside of Aleppo in northeastern Syria, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The Syrian Observatory, which is based in London, said in a press statement today that the raids targeted sites in the Minaj military airport, Shawarga, Maraanaz and Al-Malikiyah, without information so far about human losses.
According to the Observatory, this comes about three days after the Turkish air strikes on the areas of the Autonomous Administration and the Kurdish forces stopped.
According to the Observatory, since the start of the Turkish escalation on the 19th of this month, Turkish warplanes launched 50 raids, targeting vehicles, points, areas and separate locations in Aleppo, Al-Hasakah and Al-Raqqa, killing 45 people and wounding 34 others with varying degrees of injury.
On Friday, Turkey announced the neutralization of more than 300 Kurdish militants in an attack on northern Syria and northern Iraq.
Yesterday, Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said, "Operation Claw - Sword continues with punitive strikes, with air and ground support vehicles. So far, 326 terrorists have been neutralized."
The operation targets the Kurdish People's Protection Units and the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
This came a week after a bomb attack in Istanbul killed six people and injured more than 80 others.
Ankara blames the YPG and the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) for the attack.
Both groups deny the accusation.
