Turkish occupation escalates its airstrikes

The Syrian Democratic Forces' Media Center issued a public statement today, revealing the Turkish occupation state's escalation of its attacks against several areas around the Tishreen Dam and the Qarqozaq Bridge.

The statement reads:

"Despite the cessation of fighting in most Syrian regions following the fall of the former regime, north and eastern Syria remains under the ongoing attacks by the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries, which have persisted for over three months. Our forces remain steadfast in defending the region, regardless of the intensity of the aggressions.

On the Tishreen Dam front, Turkish occupation warplanes carried out multiple airstrikes on Saturday, including two targeting workers’ housing of the dam. Simultaneously, heavy artillery shelling continued in villages across the southeastern countryside of Manbij, causing material damage to civilian homes. Artillery fire also struck one of our positions, resulting in minor injuries to one of our fighters. During an attempted attack by the occupation and its mercenaries using suicide drones, our Martyr Haroun Units successfully thwarted the attack and shoot down the suicide drone in the northern countryside of the dam.

On the Qarqozaq front, Turkish occupation warplanes conducted several airstrikes on the villages of Ghasq and al-Tina, while a Turkish occupation UCAV targeted one of our positions, leading to two of our fighters experiencing mild poisoning due to exposure to toxic explosive gases. These airstrikes were accompanied by ground attacks using heavy artillery, tanks, rocket launchers, and mortar shells on the villages of al-Tina, Ja’dah, Bir Hissou, Ghasq, Dekan, Melha, and al-Sana’, as well as areas around the dam, the Serrin junction, and the Saifi Hill and Qarqozaq Hill. More than 60 shells were indiscriminately fired, causing extensive material damage to civilian homes and property.

In response to these attacks, our forces launched an operation targeting the occupation’s bases, fortifications, and mercenaries west of the bridge. The full extent of the losses inflicted on the occupation forces remains unknown."
