QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – 12 soldiers of the Syrian government forces were injured by shelling and sniping of the armed opposition in the de-escalation zone in northwest Syria, the Russian Reconciliation Center for Syria in Khmeimim Air Base announced yesterday. “Three Syrian soldiers were injured in an attack launched by terrorists against the Syrian forces in Safsafa region,” Counter Admiral Oleg Zhuravlyov, vice director of the Russian Reconciliation Center for Syria, said. “Eight soldiers were injured in an artillery shelling launched by the terrorists against the Syrian forces in Kafr Battih region,” Zhuravlyov added. He pointed out that another “Syrian soldier was injured in a sniping operation in Fater region.” Since early January 2022, the de-escalation zone in northwestern Syria has witnessed frequent bombardment by the Russian forces on opposition sites, in addition to mutual shelling between the government forces and the opposition factions. In January, a soldier of the Syrian government forces was killed and two others were injured in a shelling by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS-formerly al-Nusra Front) of the sites of the government forces in Idlib and Aleppo. The Syrian government forces and opposition factions exchange bombardments within the de-escalation zone, despite the entry into force of the ceasefire agreement signed between the Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan in March 2021.
