The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said in a statement on Monday evening, December 6, that it had repulsed an attempt by the Turkish-affiliated armed groups to infiltrate the northern city of Ain Issa.

The SDF announced on its official website that "Our forces managed to repel the attack of the Turkish-affiliated occupiers on the village of Sakiro in the eastern suburbs of Ain Issa and killed a number of them."

On November 26, the SDF repelled an attack by Turkish forces and its loyalist groups in the north of Ain Issa.

The media center of the Syrian Democratic Forces added: "The occupying forces tried to infiltrate the village of Sakiro at exactly seven o'clock on Monday evening, but our forces confronted them, killing some of them and forcing the others to flee."

The center noted that after the infiltration attempt failed, gunmen with heavy weapons targeted the village to try to take the bodies of their forces who were killed.
