Situation in Syria
Armed confrontation between terrorists and Syrian troops in the south-western part of the province of Damascus continued for a day. Militants were subjected to positions of militants near the city of Mugr Al-Mir.
In the province of Aleppo, armed clashes between units of the Turkish army and Kurdish SDF and YPG units were observed. After the Democratic Forces of Syria (SDF) opened fire on the places of deployment of the Turkish military near the village of Drat Izza, the Turks retaliated.
