Turkey's state-run Anadolu Agency reported on Sunday that French special forces had established six artillery batteries in eastern Syria along the border with Iraq, which are controlled by the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
The news agency quoted local sources as saying that the new artillery batteries, located north of Baguz village in Syria’s eastern province of Deir Ezzor, had fired their first shots.
The US-led coalition confirmed on Twitter that "artillery from France" was supporting the SDF forces in an alleged attack on Daesh terrorists to the east of the Euphrates River in eastern Syria.
The SDF militants, mainly active in the eastern part of the Euphrates River, are purportedly fighting against the remnants of the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group, which has already been driven out of all its urban bastions both in Iraq and Syria.
Damascus regards them as unwelcome armed forces occupying parts of the Syrian territory without the consent of the central government.
It's worthy noting that last month, France joined the US in its airstrikes on Syria over an alleged chemical attack in the Syrian town of Douma.
