Turkish forces and their allies continue to launch attacks on Syrian villages despite agreeing to a ceasefire, according to the statement, which says Turkish forces have targeted villages near Ras al-Ain"by aerial bombardments and brought in more troops and preparations for the ceasefire areas." Clashes erupted when the SDF responded to attacks"in the framework of their legitimate right to self-defense," the statement says.
The Turkish Defense Ministry tweeted on Sunday saying,"Despite the agreement with the US, there have been 22 harassment/violations," since the ceasefire began on Thursday.
