Turkish forces have set up a new military post up on the hill of Al-Raqim in the northern countryside of Syria’s Latakia as Jabal al-Akrad witnessed intense airstrikes and shelling.

With the new Turkish move on Sunday, its military posts in the de-escalation zone in northwestern Syria reached 67.

A Turkish column also entered via Kafr Losin crossing, north of Idlib, carrying tanks, armored vehicles, and logistical materials. The column, which consists of about 40 vehicles, headed towards positions of Turkish troops.

Further, Syrian regime forces renewed rocket attacks and shelling, targeting sites in Al-Bara, Kansafra and Al-Mawzarah in Jabal Al-Zawiyah in the southern countryside of Idlib along with intensive Russian overflights.

On the other hand, regime forces targeted a civilian car with a guided missile in Tadil village in the western countryside of Aleppo, which burned it down, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Thursday that Greece is looking to cooperate with Libya to halt migration flows.

"I will inform my colleagues over the significant increase in the number of people from eastern Libya and ask for the support of the European Commission so that the issue can be addressed immediately," he said ahead of an EU summit in Brussels.

He added that Libyan authorities should cooperate with Europe to stop migrants sailing from Libya.
