Radical supporters of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) continue their attempts to sabotage the shaky ceasefire (very shaky) imposed in northeastern Syria in the framework of the Turkish-Russian agreement. The agreement allowed to limit the Turkish operation area, stop the Turkish push towards Kobani (Ayn al-Arab) and prevent a further escalation in the region. Nonetheless, sporadic clashes between Turkish-backed forces and Kurdish rebels continued near Ras al-Ayn. Actions of the SDF supporters endanger even these achievements.
According to media reports, pro-SDF rioters temporarily blocked the joint Russian-Turkish patrol. Reports also indicate that at least one rioter was injured by actions of Turkish forces. The situation remains unclear.
