An IED explosion took place early in the morning in Dabit Street, in the city of Al-Bab with some fatal casualties and other injuries being reported.

Another explosive device exploded in the town of Akhtarin in the Turkish-backed rebel-held areas.

A roadside bomb exploded near a military patrol of the Kurdish militias near the city of Manbij.

Hama:

The Northern Hama frontline had multiple fresh clashes throughout the day. The clashes included the exchange of rockets, missiles and mortar between pro-government forces and rebel forces. Affected areas include Al Lataminah, Sakhr, Jabriya, Suqaylabiyah, amongst others. Both sides targeted civilian as well as military targets.

The SAA and Rusian Airforce targeted multiple rebel-held sites and targets, including the town of Abu Raida, Kafr Zaita, Sarmani, Deir al-Kord and Gurin amongst others.

These clashes, bombings and air raids are a continuum of the last weeks’ escalation between Government forces and Rebel forces for the remaining rebel-held areas in Hama, and the rebel-held governorate of Idlib.

A rebel ATGM hit a pick-up vehicle allegedly full of government troops towards the axis of Al-Hawaiz. The ATGM destroyed the vehicle, and possibly killed and/or wounded all the occupants.
