The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a coalition of militant groups in northern Syria dominated by Kurdish organizations, reported ongoing bombardments near the city of Kobani, bordering Turkey. The SDF expressed concerns over the risk of war due to continuous provocations by Turkey and its supporters, citing attacks using heavy artillery and drones in rural areas south and west of Kobani.

Tragically, two paramedics lost their lives when their ambulance was struck by a drone, and a woman was killed in a separate vehicle attack. The SDF alleged that Turkish warplanes and drones were highly active in the airspace over Kobani, Manbij, and other regions. In Raqqa, two drone strikes were reported, with social media videos capturing a plume of smoke rising in one location.
