The Turkish part of the mission did not record any facts of opening fire," the ministry said on Facebook.
The ministry has noted that there was one instance of humanitarian deliveries in the Aleppo province by the Center for Reconciliation of Opposing Sides and Refugee Migration Monitoring in Syria in the last 24 hours.
"Over the past 24 hours, 412 refugees (including 124 women and 210 children) returned to the Syrian Arab Republic from the territory of Lebanon through the 'Jaydet Yabus' and 'tell Kalah' checkpoints.
