Syria monitor: 101 killed in battles between pro-Turkey, Kurdish forces

Since Friday evening, clashes in several villages around the city of Manbij have left 101 dead, including 85 members of pro-Turkish groups and 16 from the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. The SDF said it had repelled "all the attacks from Turkey's mercenaries supported by Turkish drones and aviation". The Turkish defence ministry said it had "neutralised" 32 Kurdish fighters in northern Syria, without providing further details.
