Reports (not confirmed) of six Turk KIA and several more wounded. The Turks claim 100+ SAA KIA but there is no evidence at this time to support this claim.
On 3 Feb 20, either SAA or RuAF planes struck a Turk convoy WEST of SARAQIB:
35.868346,36.751833
Update:
Reports now of another convoy hit in the vicinity of AL ATARIB (WEST of ALEPPO). The convoy was transporting APCs. Initial reports said it was a Turk convoy but now sources say it was HTS/Al Qaeda. There was RuAF operating in the area at the time, so it's highly conceivable they struck another convoy. |
That Ferris wheel gets me. A stark reminder that war zones are where regular people live
