Russia, Turkey Hold Joint Patrol in Northern Syria

Russian Military Police held on Tuesday a joint patrol with Turkish forces in the eastern countryside of northern Syria’s city of Ain al-Arab (Kobani).

The patrol was the 92nd between the two forces in the region since both countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 2019.

It comprised eight Russian and Turkish military vehicles and set off from Ashma village, nearly 20 km west of Kobani.

The Turkish military vehicles then returned to Turkey through the gate near Gharib village, while the Russian military vehicles returned to their position near the town of Sirrin, south of Kobani.

Separately, the Turkish Defense Ministry announced the killing of 12 members of the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) that were allegedly plotting a terror attack in areas held by Turkish forces and allied Syrian factions in northern Syria.

The killed members of the YPG, the largest component of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), were neutralized after they opened fire into Turkey’s Operation Euphrates Shield zone in northern Syria, said the ministry in a statement on Tuesday.
