YPG/PKK attacks FSA-held areas of Syria’s Tal Rifaat

Clashes erupted in the Syrian city of Tal Rifaat on Wednesday after YPG/PKK terrorists attempted to infiltrate parts of the city held by the Free Syrian Army (FSA), local sources said early Thursday.

According to one local source, the terrorists attempted to infiltrate FSA-held parts of Tal Rifaat early Thursday, prompting clashes with FSA fighters deployed in the city.

The same source, who asked not to be named due to security concerns, said the terrorists had suffered a number of casualties before retreating from the area.

In 2016, the YPG/PKK captured a number of Tal Rifaat's northern districts, from which it has continued to stage attacks on FSA-held part of the city.
