Iran Press/ Middle East: Syrian government troops accompanied by Russian forces have entered the city of Kobani, where the Daesh terrorist group was defeated 4 years ago.

According to Reuters, the Syrian Observatory reported on Wednesday that their arrival in Kobani comes after a deal cut between Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, who control the city, and Damascus to deploy the Syrian army to border areas to help fend off a Turkish offensive into northeastern Syria.

On October 9, Ankara launched a new military operation in northern Syria dubbed Peace Spring, which began with airstrikes on positions of Kurdish units. 101/211/207
