Manbij Military Council Official Spokesman Şervan Derwîş spoke to ANHA about last night's airstrike by Turkish jets targeting the positions of Manbij Military Council fighters.

Derwîş defined the aerial attack of the Turkish army as an effort to disrupt the safe environment in the city.

Derwîş recalled that MMC and SDF combatants had liberated the city of Manbij and started its reconstruction as they on the other hand re-activated all the public services, arranged military training cycles and recorded an advance in all areas of the city.

MMC Spokesman said: "A few days ago, some enemy forces developed multiple attacks on our forces in an effort to disrupt the safe environment and security in Manbij city.”

Derwîş reported that Turkish fighter jets hit the MMC positions in the villages of Yilanli, Qurt Wêran and Şêx Nasir last night, as a result of which one Tehrîr El-Firat Brigade fighter died and 3 other combatants were wounded. He underlined that the coward bombardments of the Turkish army constituted an obstacle to the fight against terror, and that they as Manbij Military Council will develop an attitude against the Turkish army's attacks.

Derwîş added: "YPG forces retreated from Manbij under the supervision of the international coalition. We therefore ask the international coalition to investigate the Turkish aerial strike and to intervene for the attacks to stop.

Manbij Military Council Spokesman Şervan Derwîş remarked that they will continue to defend Manbij and retaliate against the attacks, and he once again called on the international coalition forces to act in line with international laws and in consideration of the Manbij residents' safety of life.
