Syrian Army foils PKK/YPG infiltration near Aleppo

A unit of the Syrian Ministry of Defence has thwarted an attempt by militants of the Syrian Democratic Forces (a terrorist organisation, PKK/YPG) to infiltrate positions in the village of Tal Maaz, Aleppo province.

Other SDF militants located in the villages of Umm Tina and Deir Hafir then opened fire on Syrian positions in Tal Maaz in an attempt to rescue their comrades caught in an ambush, Caliber.Az reports, citing Syrian media.

The initial clash involved light weapons, but after continued shelling, Syrian Ministry of Defence units employed heavy weaponry and dispatched reinforcements to the positions in Tal Maaz.
