Ongoing bombardment | Turkish shelling on Abu Rasin town in Al-Hasakah countryside triggers civilian exodus

Al-Hasakah province: This morning, Turkish forces stationed in the Peace Spring area fired heavy artillery shells on Abu Rasin town, north-west of Al-Hasakah, amid an exodus of residents from their homes towards the eastern Al-Hasakah countryside to escape indiscriminate shelling. No Casualties were reported.

Yesterday, SOHR activists reported that a member of Al-Hamzat Division was killed and others were injured, when SDF fired heavy artillery shells and missiles on positions of Turkish-backed factions in Anik Al-Hawa and Dawodiyah Mala Salman villages within “Peace Spring” area.

As a response, Turkish forces and their proxies stationed in “Peace Spring” area fired artillery shells on the vicinity of Abo Rasen town, Tel Al-Ward, Khirbat Shair and Ruba’iyat villages, where shells hit the bakery store of Al-Roba’iyat causing it to go out of service. Moreover, shelling targeted the centre of the Internal Security Forces “Al-Asayesh” in Ruba’iyat village in Abo Rasen town countryside within SDF-held areas, amid reports of displacement of civilians towards safer villages due to the violent shelling.
