[NPASYRIA] Russian Military Police (MP) conducted on Saturday a military patrol in the countryside of Qamishli, a city northeastern Syria.
The patrol, which consisted of 10 armored vehicles accompanied by two helicopters, roamed the area, a military source told North Press.
The patrol toured villages and regions it had not roamed before at a depth of 30 km away from the Syrian-Ottoman Turkish border in the countryside of Qamishli, all the way to the Iraqi-Syrian border.
In October 2019, following a Ottoman Turkish military operation in areas of northeast Syria which resulted in the occupation of Tel Abyad, north of Raqqa, and Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain) north of Hasakah, the Ottoman Turkish president signed two ceasefire agreements, one with Russia and the other with the US.
The ceasefire agreements stipulating halt of all hostilities there and the withdrawal of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) 30 kilometers in depth away from the Ottoman Turkish border in addition to conducting joint patrols with Russia in order to monitor the implementation of the agreements.
The US-led coalition usually patrols the same areas, according to the source.
On July 26, the Russian MP conducted a solo patrol in the countryside of Derbasiyah, north of Hasakah.
