The Turkish Army and their allies from the Euphrates Shield forces launched their second assault on the strategic mountaintop of Jabal Barsaya in the Afrin Canton today.
Backed by heavy airstrikes, the Turkish Army and their allies stormed the mountaintop in a bid to overwhelm the Kurdish-led People’s Protection Units (YPG).
No gains have been reported thus far.
The Turkish Army and their allies initially captured this mountaintop on Monday; however, they were unable to hold the area after the YPG launched a swift counter-assault.
