Chaos: Syrian troops engage in war against Turkish troops, but fight Kurds

The agreement, which Kurdish leaders have done without their will after five days of shelling by Turkish artillery and aircraft, threatens to open a new front after the nearly nine-year civil war in Syria.

There were numerous reports during yesterday night and on the morning that Syrian soldiers had been introduced to cities controlled by Kurds, Manbidge and Cobane, writes Periscope.

The Syrian Army said in a statement Monday that its troops had reached Tel Tamrin, a town about 12 miles off the border of Turkey.

There were also unconfirmed reports that Syrian troops had clashed with Kurdish warriors in the town of Qamishli, who did not surrender to Damascus in last night's deal with Damascus, which was mediated by Russia.

Turkish fighters with their allies have repeatedly attacked the two cities where the focus of Turkey's military mission was on backing Kurdish fighters who he considers terrorists.

The battle between Syrian troops against those of Turkey and allies has raised numerous concerns about the security of about 11,000 ISIS fighters and their families being held prisoners in the region. More than 700 people are said to have fled these camps during Sunday.

Syrian state media reported on Monday that Bashar al-Assad military units were heading north “to fight Turkish aggression on Syrian territory”.
