Clashes between Turkish-backed Syrian National Army and Kurdish-led forces were renewed in northern Hasaka province, local activists said Wednesday.
The clashes between both sides in a zone between the towns of Tal Tamr and Ras al-Ayn left dozens dead in both sides over the past few weeks.
Turkey claims the YPG is a “terrorist” offshoot of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which has fought an insurgency against the Turkish state since 1984.
Turkey and the National Syrian Army on October 9 launched a cross-border attack against Kurdish-held areas, grabbing a 120-kilometre-long (70-mile) swathe of Syrian land along the frontier.
