The Media Center of the Syrian Democratic Forces issued a statement confirming that its forces thwarted the attacks of the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries on the Tishreen Dam and the Qarqozaq Bridge.

The statement read:

“Yesterday, our forces thwarted the attempted attacks of the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries on our positions in vicinity of Tishreen Dam and Qaraqozaq Bridge.
After the occupation’s warplanes launched a series of airstrikes on the vicinity of Tishreen Dam, accompanied by heavy artillery shelling targeting villages in the dam’s countryside, southeast of Manbij, our forces successfully thwarted an attempted attack by the occupation’s mercenaries, at approximately 5:00 PM, on one of our positions near the Syriatel Hill. Direct clashes erupted that led to several mercenary casualties, though the exact number remains unknown.
Additionally, the occupation’s warplanes carried out multiple airstrikes on the villages of Al-Tina, Ghasq, and Melha, near the Qaraqozaq Bridge, causing significant material damage to civilian homes and property. The occupation and its mercenaries also indiscriminately shelled the villages of Al-Tina, Ja’dah, Bir Hissou, Ghasq, Dekan, Melha, and Al-Sana’a, as well as the Sayfi Hill and Qaraqozaq Hill. More than 60 shells were fired using heavy artillery, tanks, rocket launchers, and mortars, leading to extensive damage to civilian infrastructure.
On the Qaraqozaq axis, clashes erupted between our forces and the mercenaries, resulted in the elimination and injury of several mercenaries, the exact number of the mercenaries eliminated and injured remains unknown.
In response to these attacks, our fighters conducted two operations targeting Qaraqozaq checkpoint and Qaraqozaq hill, resulting in further casualties among the occupation’s mercenaries, though the precise numbers remain undetermined.
On the Deir Hafer front, a suicide drone attempted to strike one of our positions but was successfully intercepted and shot down by our forces.
Meanwhile, the Turkish occupation warplanes and UCAVs intensively patrolled the airspace of Kobani, Ain Issa, and their surrounding areas.”
