Meantime, clashes between the residents of the village of al-Sayadah near Manbij and the SDF forces late last month had injured a number of people from both sides.

In a relevant development earlier this month, two more attacks on the SDF by unidentified raiders were reported in the town of Manbij in Northeastern Aleppo.

A number of the SDF members, including a commander, were injured after a bomb planted in their vehicle of Manbij Military Council went off near al-Jazeera square in the town of Manbij.
