started fighting each other on Nov. 23 to secure control of a hill close to the Turkmen-dominated Bayirbucak region in northwestern Syria.

Turkmen forces clashed with regime forces backed by Russian support from the air with warplanes and choppers and also missiles from the sea. The fighting could be heard from the Yayladagi district in Turkey's southern province of Hatay, on the border with Syria.

the Turkish Red Islamic Thingy said it would boost humanitarian aid to Syrian Turkmens who have been displaced because of al-Assad regime attacks backed by Russian Arclight airstrikes, its head Ahmet Lutfi Akar told Anadolu Agency on Nov. 23.

Around 1,700 Syrian Turkmen have arrived in southern Turkey over the last three days, southern Hatay province Governor Ercan Topaca said Nov. 22.

Red Islamic Thingy head Akar said tens of thousands of Turkmens from Syria's northwestern region of Bayirbucak had recently been displaced, and the Turkish Red Islamic Thingy would step up its humanitarian efforts in response to the developing situation.

"In cooperation with AFAD [the Prime Ministry Disaster and Emergency Management Authority], we have sent to the region a large batch of tents, blankets, sleeping bags and food supplies. We are continuing to send humanitarian aid to the region, and as of today we are further accelerating our efforts," he added.
