While clashes between tribes and the terrorist organizations continue, an anti-PKK demonstration was held in Azez, Aleppo. Hundreds of tribe-supporters chanted anti-terrorist slogans and demanded military operations to be launched against terrorist organizations.

A bronze statue of US First Lady Melania Trump was stolen near her hometown of Sevnica, Slovenia. The statue, depicting her waving during Donald Trump’s 2017 inauguration, was cut off at the ankles. Police launched an investigation after a tip-off on May 13.
