Turkish occupation shelling targets 14 villages and Hill near Tishreen Dam and Qarqozaq

The Syrian Democratic Forces' Media Center issued a statement today to the public regarding the attacks by the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries and the massacre they committed in the Kobani countryside. The statement reads:

"Due to its inability to achieve any progress on the battlefronts or confront our forces, the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries consistently resort to bombing civilian-populated areas, villages, and cities as an act of retaliation for their failures on the ground.
In this context, on Sunday, the Turkish occupation committed a horrific massacre, resulting in the martyrdom of nine civilians from a single family, including seven children and a woman, and injuring two others from the same family. The massacre occurred during an airstrike on the area between the villages of Qomji and Barkh Botan, south of Kobani.

On the Tishreen Dam front, Turkish occupation warplanes continued their intensive airstrikes on the dam’s surroundings and countryside. Coinciding with the massacre south of Kobani in the afternoon, they launched several airstrikes on the dam’s workers’ housing. Additionally, heavy artillery shelling targeted the dam’s countryside on Saturday night and continued into Sunday, causing significant material damage to villages and civilian homes.

On the Qaraqozaq front, the occupation warplanes carried out a series of airstrikes on the village of Ghasq and Sayfi Hill near the dam. Turkish occupation UCAVs also targeted the village of Bir Hissou and Sayfi Hill, while heavy artillery, tanks, rocket launchers, and mortars bombarded the entire area around the bridge and its surrounding countryside. The attacks targeted the villages of Al-Tina, Ja’da, Bir Hissou, Ghasq, Dekan, Melha, and Al-San’a, as well as the Serrin junction and the Sayfi Hill and Qaraqozaq Hill. More than 80 shells were fired indiscriminately, causing severe destruction to homes and civilian properties across the region."
