ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – The Turkish Army attacked border villages near Qamishlo, Derbisiye, and Amude in Syria's northeastern Hasakah province on Monday morning. 

The Media Center of the Internal Security Forces (known as Asayish in Kurdish) stated that the Turkish Army targeted the village of Tel Ziwan in the countryside of Qamishli, the village of Khanika in the countryside of Amude, and the town of Zirgan (Abu Rasin in Arabic).
