 the Ottoman Turkish military vehicles did not show up at the border gate near the village of Gharib, 20 km east of Kobani, due to the Eid holiday, according to a military source.

Four Russian military vehicles passed through the scheduled patrol route alone.

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 Russian vehicles set off from the village of Gharib and passed the villages of Karbanaf, Kosk, Alishar, Jom Ali, Kortek, Kobek, Satan, Teri, Tel Hajib, Qabajeq Saghir, Telk, Holaqiya, Kharabisan Tahtani, Jishan, and Qaramogh.

The Russian military vehicles returned to their position near the town of Sirrin, south of Kobani.

On May 15, Russian MP conducted a one-sided patrol in the eastern countryside of Kobani, the Ottoman Turkish side did not participate in the patrol due to the Ottoman Turkish presidential elections, according to what a military source told North Press, quoting the Russian patrol commander at the time.
