National

ALEPPO, (ST)-The Turkish regime forces on Saturday targeted residential areas in Afrin city in Aleppo northern countryside, destroying the houses and causing damage to public and private properties, bringing the total number of civilian victims of these attacks to 86 dead and 198 injured, including women and children and elderly people.

Local sources told SANA that the Turkish forces attacked the villages of Haji Eskandari, Hamam Bnahyiat Jandaris, Toubal, Obaidan, Qurna and Ali Jarou and in the surroundings of Ghir Mountain in Afrin area of Aleppo northern countryside with different kinds of weapons. The heavy bombardment wounded many civilians, caused destruction in infrastructure and stopped people’s movement in Afrin and the neighboring villages.

 On Friday, the Turkish regime attacked residential neighborhoods in al-Ma’batli area in Afrin and committed a massacre that claimed the lives of seven people of one family, wounded many others and left several persons missed under the rubble.

The incessant Turkish aggression on Afrin has caused the martyrdom of dozens of civilians and the destruction of locals’ houses as well as the city’s infrastructure and archeological places.

Syria has strongly condemned the Turkish brutal aggression on Afrin, stressing that the city is part and parcel of the Syrian territories. It urged the international community to condemn this aggression and to immediately adopt deterrent measures to stop it.

Thousands of locals were displaced from their houses and villages as a result of the Turkish aggression. According to UN reports, more than 5000 civilians were displaced two days ago because of the bombardment.
