ISTANBUL (AA) - The Syrian Army on Monday called the deployment of armed groups by the terrorist organization YPG/SDF in the eastern Aleppo province a “dangerous escalation,” warning that any action by these groups would be met with “a violent response.”

“We are conducting a direct and immediate assessment of the situation on the ground,” it added.

“We will not stand idly by in the face of this dangerous escalation,” the command warned.
