Over 3,000 more Turkish-backed militants have entered northern Syria from the Turkish territory in order to take part in the Turkish-led military operation in the country. Reports say the group of militants entered Syria through the Turkish town of Qaqamshi.
Now, the number of Turkish-backed militants involved in the Operation Euphrates Shield are about 5,000.
Earlier today the Turkish-led forces have reached the the Sajur River, capturing a number of villages from the predominantly Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and are continuing to advance southwest of Jarabulus.
