The Turkish Army and Ankara-affiliated terrorists resumed attacks on the Syrian army and the Kurdish militia in several regions in Hasaka province. The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that the attacks targeted the village of Tal Sho'air between Tal Tamar and Abu Ra'asin in Hasaka, adding that the Turkish army also supported the offensive with heavy artillery fire, wounding several people.

It also reported that the Turkish drones bombed several regions between Tal Tamar and Ra's al-Ein in Hasaka on Friday. Meanwhile, the SOHR reported that the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Syrian army regained control of the village of Um Sha'eifeh from the Turkey-backed militants on Friday night.
