About 1,100 families have been displaced from the southern neighborhoods towards Syrian army-controlled areas in Al-Hasakah.
The deputy commander of the Russian Reconciliation Center in Syria, Admiral Oleg Zhuravlev, announced that a number of terrorists escaped a prison in the city of Al-Hasakah, which is under Kurdish control, as a result of an attack on it.
In a briefing, Zhuravlev pointed out that "US combat drones have been involved in the operation to liquidate the terrorists escaping from the prison."
The Admiral warned that "the use of airborne weapons will entail, with a high degree of probability, damage to city infrastructure facilities and civilian casualties."
Zhuravlev called "on the leaders of the so-called Autonomous Administration for North and East Syria (AANES) to refuse from confrontation with Syria’s legitimate government and ensure the security of the civil population and public establishments" in Al-Hasakah.
