[NPASYRIA] On Friday evening, the Media Center of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) issued a statement on the recent military developments in the town of Ain Issa, north of Raqqa, northern Syria.

"On March 19, the Ottoman Turkish occupier army and the affiliated mercenaries have intensified their offensives on Ain Issa town, M4 Highway, and Sayda and Me’allek villages," the statement said.

"Our forces responded to the offensive and as a result, festivities erupted which led to the killing of 3 mercenaries," the statement added.
