Russia conducts airstrikes on Manbij for PYD

The Russian military continues to support the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) terrorist organization's Syrian affiliate, PYD, as Russian jets conducted heavy bombardment in Manbij town to make a corridor for the terrorist group.

With the support of Russian airstrikes, PYD is advancing to Manbij, a city west of the Euphrates River. Thus the terrorist group intends to cross the red line declared by the Turkish government.

PYD, a pro-Kurdish armed group in northern Syria, is known as the Syrian branch of the PKK terrorist group, which has killed almost 40,000 civilians in southeastern Turkey in the last 31 years.

The Syrian terrorist group seized the Tishrin Dome on the Euphrates River and headed west but Turkey has warned that it would attack any element that intended to cross the river, the red line for Ankara.

Ankara planned to establish a safe zone inside Syria along the Azaz-Jarabulus corridor and Manbij is an important city for controlling the line.

After capturing the Tishrin Dome, PYD launched a two-pronged attack to seize Manbij city as US military supports the group in Sirrin, an eastern city of Aleppo, and Russian jets support them in Manbij.

Recently Russia established a military base in Kamishli to support the PYD near the Turkish border. PYD wants to make a corridor along Turkish border side, as it controls Tel Abyad and Kobani and now advances west.
