This morning, the regime's fighter jets shelled Buyoud village. Later in the day, two shells fired from al-Rahjan village also struck Buyoud as warplanes hovered overhead. Fighter jets also attacked the villages of al-Jabal and al-Taweeleh.

Soran:
Assad regime forces stormed Soran with tanks and arrested two members of the Qassem al-Mustawi family. They arbitrarily opened fire. As a result, residents fled from their houses and shops.
