Qasd: our forces did not attack the Peshmerga forces
Shafaq News / The Syrian Democratic Forces denied that their forces attacked Peshmerga points in the Suhaila area of Kurdistan Region, confirming their respect for its sovereignty.
According to a statement issued by the Qasd that During the past years since the beginning of the anti-ISIS terrorist operations, there has always been a mechanism for joint coordination on both sides of the borders between the SDF and the Kurdistan Regional Forces, which facilitated many of the obstacles that usually occur in the border areas.
The statement clarified that what happened in the Sahila area last night, Wednesday, was not an attack on the Peshmerga points, but rather poor coordination between the security services on both sides of the border.
The Kurdish People's Protection Forces (YPG) said that they did not attack the Peshmerga forces, stressing their respect for the sovereignty of the Kurdistan Region.
In a statement, the forces said, "During the past years, there have been joint coordinated operations on both sides of the borders between Rojava and the Kurdistan Region, within the framework of anti-ISIS operations", adding, "this coordination facilitated many of the obstacles that It usually occurs in border areas. "
The units denied that their forces attacked any points of the Peshmerga forces last Wednesday night in the Sahila region, noting that what happened was nothing but a lack of coordination between their forces and those concerned in the Kurdistan Region, as there is no good reason to do this behavior, according to the statement.

No causalities were registered.
He called on the international coalition to stance on the repeated attacks carried out by the PKK.
