The Syrian Army on Tuesday recaptured the Karakozak area, where the land of the Suleyman Shah Tomb is located, one hour before a ceasefire with YPG/SDF terror organizations took effect, according to an Anadolu correspondent.
Earlier, the army advanced into the town of Sarrin, northeast of Aleppo, after intense clashes with terrorist elements in the southern parts of the Ayn al-Arab district of Aleppo province.
The army stepped up its advance on the Sirrin front after its forces west of the Euphrates River were unable to cross the bridge due to heavy fire from terrorists entrenched in the hilly area on the opposite bank.
Advancing northward from Sarrin toward the Ayn al-Arab district, the army surrounded the area where Karakozak village is located.
Forces have not yet entered the site due to extensive mining by the terrorist organization around the bridge and within the land of the Suleyman Shah Tomb.
The area will be secured after mines and explosive devices are cleared.
