Syrian army clashes with Turkish forces in NE border area – Damascus
Syrian army troops on Wednesday were engaged in heavy clashes with Turkish forces in the countryside around the border town of Ras al Ain in an area where a military offensive by Ankara aims to create a “safe” zone, Reuters said, citing state media in Damascus.
There were no details but Turkish-backed rebels said intermittent clashes have taken place in recent days with Syrian troops south of Ras al Ain, which was seized from Syrian Kurdish-led forces.
Syrian troops have stepped in to take up positions in the area after an agreement with Kurdish forces.
