SDF: 12 civilians fell as martyrs in Turkish attacks

The SDF confirmed that 12 civilians fell as martyrs in the latest wave of attacks by Turkey on Northern and Eastern Syria.

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) Media Center said in a statement that 12 civilians were martyred as a result of the Turkish attacks against Northern and Eastern Syria last night. 

The statement said: "Over the past hours, the Turkish occupation state has launched a new wave of attacks on Northern and Eastern Syria Region, targeting civilian infrastructure, people gatherings, and security forces.

These attacks resulted in the martyrdom of 12 civilians, including two children, and injuries to 25 others.

In addition to populated areas, Turkish warplanes and UAVs targeted bakeries, power stations, oil facilities, and Internal Security Force checkpoints.

These essential civic facilities were among the 42 civic sites struck by Turkish artillery shelling."

The statement added: "This repeated barbaric aggression demonstrates Turkey's hostility towards our people in Northern and Eastern Syria. It is a stark reminder of the threat posed by Turkey's criminal mentality to the region's peace and stability. Turkey is attempting to export its internal crises at the expense of our people, sowing chaos and escalating tensions.

Our Syrian Democratic Forces, once again facing Turkish aggression, will not hesitate to fulfill their duty to protect our people and our regions."
