📌Fragile ceasfire
The extension of the ceasefire is preventing major military conflict. Still, clashes and attacks are taking place in the front-lines. Mazlum Abdi made public declarations explaining how negotiations are ongoing and SDF is ready to start implementing the agreements, where among other things include that STG forces won't enter Kurdish cities.

- Clashes outskirts of Kobane, at least 4 armored vehicles of the STG destroyed by SDF after they tried to advance in Celebiye. Clashes in the Lafarge concrete plant, south of Kobane, allegedly captured by STG forces today.

- Clashes at Cil Axa, an Arab village, on the strategic road from Qamishlo to Derik. The SDF supressed the attack.

- Clashes southern HSK, in the rural regions of the mountains of Abd al Aziz (Ciya Qezwana). Recently Turkish drones struck positions in that area, where the SDF has a strong presence.

📌Aid convoy in Kobane humanitarian corridors
A convoy of 24 vehicles with food and other basic needs entered Kobane to assist those in need. Plans for humanitarian corridors to Kobane and to HSK are being displayed on Syrian State media, promising aid and evacuation of civilians to STG controlled areas.

📌Russian Forces Left Qamishlo Base
After contradictory reports of reinforcements and departure of Russian forces in Qamishlo, a reporter of al-monitor published a video from inside the empty Russian base, confirming their departure. Reportedly they left to their Khmeimim base near the Mediterranean sea. It is likely the Russians left on request of the STG. Previously the base function as a coordination point for joint patrols and as a shield for AANES against the Turkish state, because of shifting imperialist interests, specifically from the USA, the base has now lost its tactical relevance.
