The Media Center of the Syrian Democratic Forces announced that the city of Zarghan, in the Jazira Canton, has been under heavy artillery bombardment for approximately half an hour, carried out by mercenaries of the interim government in Syria, alongside the presence of Turkish drones in the city’s airspace.

This attack constitutes a direct violation of the ceasefire agreement signed between the two sides, as the interim government has failed to adhere to the halt in hostilities. The Syrian Democratic Forces had previously emphasized their full commitment to the agreement and stated that they would not initiate any military action unless their forces were attacked.
