An informed source told Shafaq News agency, “This morning, the Syrian Democratic Forces managed to shoot down a Turkish reconnaissance plane that was flying above  the western countryside of Ain Issa by targeting it with medium-sized machine-guns."

The source indicated, "clashes and the mutual bombardments erupted near the international road (M4) between the Syrian Democratic Forces and the armed factions loyal to Ankara during the past two days."
