Aleppo province: Russian and Turkish forces have conducted a joint military patrol in the western countryside of Ain Al-Arab (Kobani).

The joint patrol, comprising eight Russian and Turkish military vehicles, has set off from Amsha village in the countryside of Ain Al-Arab (Kobani), amid a flight by two Russian helicopters over the area.




The patrol has toured the villages of Jarqli Fawqani, Jebnah and Bayadiyah, reaching Zor Maghar village off Jarablus city on the east bank of the Euphrates river west of Ain Al-Arab (Kobani) in the eastern countryside of Aleppo.

The patrol has also toured the villages of Seftek, Boban, Khorkhori, Dikmadash, Qaran and Jarqali Fawqani, and then returned to its centre in Sarin town in the western Ain al-Arab (Kobani) countryside.

This is the first joint patrol conducted by Russian and Turkish forces in 2023.

On December 29, Russian forces detonated a landmine planted on the way that the joint patrol of Russian and Turkish forces go through.

After Turkish forces entered the Syrian territory, a person with “special needs” intercepted the Russian vehicles and took them to the location of the landmine planted at Shirik village junction.

Russian forces immediately blocked the road and prevented the people from passing through the road and detonated the landmine.

According to residents of Shirik village, two unidentified people on a motorcycle stopped this morning in that area under the pretext of fixing their motorcycle.

Moreover, “SDF” began searching for the two suspects
