(Zaman Al Wasl)- Turkish artillery has pounded regime positions near the border region of Ras al-Ayn in northeastern Syria, a pro-regime news sites said Sunday.
The barrage of Turkish artillery hit the town of Tal Tamr on Saturday. No casualties among regime forces have been reported.
In the past few weeks, Tal Tamer and Abu Rasayn areas have been a field for skirmishes between the National Army and the regime-backed YPG militia.
The Turkish military and the Syrian National Army attacked Kurdish forces in northeastern Syria on October 9 with the aim of creating a roughly 30-kilometer (20-mile) deep buffer zone.
Kurdish forces agreed to withdraw from a 120-kilometer (75 mile) long, Arab-majority segment of the 440-kilometer (275-mile) border zone, although clashes have been reported since.
Turkey subsequently reached a deal with the Syrian regime's main backer Russia for Kurdish forces to pull back from the entire border area.
