Turkey in May threatened to launch a new operation in northeast Syria.

Both Russia and the US have warned Ankara against launching a new military operation in northern Syria.

Nevertheless, in recent months, the Turkish Army and Turkish-backed forces have intensified their shelling of areas under the control of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). The number of drone strikes also increased in this period.
