Three officers of the Syrian regime army were killed and two others were injured, this morning, January 12, as the Turkish forces targeted a military point of the Syrian regime army on the outskirts of the village of Mayasa in the Sherawa district in the occupied countryside of Afrin.
Our reporter stated that the Turkish forces stationed in the village of Julbur in Sherawa district shelled a military point of the Syrian regime with heavy artillery, killing three officers, one of whom was a brigadier general named “Ammar Joudeh Tishuri” from Al-Muntar area in Tartous countryside, the sergeant “Ammar Yusef Muhanna,” the sergeant “Laith Ghosn,” in addition to the serious injury of another recruit, who was transferred to Aleppo hospitals for treatment.
In the occupied city of Afrin, identifiers affiliated with the Ankara-affiliated militias warned of the possibility of the city being subjected to missile strikes, after losses occurred in the ranks of the Syrian regime army as a result of the Turkish shelling.
Our reporter in the city said that the Turkish soldiers left the checkpoints and open places for fear that their positions would be targeted by the Syrian regime army.
On the other hand, violent clashes took place between the Syrian regime forces and the Turkish-backed “National Army” militias, this morning, on the axis of the city of Tadef in the al-Bab countryside, east of Aleppo, amidst an exchange of intense artillery and missile shelling by both sides, while no information received on the extent of the damage so far.
This comes as a result of the “Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham” organization and the militias collaborating with it, escalating its operations against the Syrian regime’s army in the western countryside of Aleppo, where the “Ahrar al-Sham Islamic Movement” militia launched a violent attack yesterday, on the positions of the Syrian regime in the village of Tala, west of Aleppo, resulted in the killing of three soldiers and the destruction of a military building in addition to the seizure of military equipment and their withdrawal after the destruction of most of the fortifications.
