The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria condemned the massacre of civilians carried out by the Turkish state in Til Rifat, Shehba. Eight children aged 3 to 15 were killed as well as two adults. 

In a written statement the Autonomous Administration recalled that it was "the people who migrated from Afrin to Shehba to be targeted in the massacre attacks carried out by the Turkish state."

The statement added: "Turkey's barbaric massacres targeting children are an ethnic genocide and war crimes. As the Autonomous Administration of Northern and Eastern Syria, we strongly condemn the massacre. The Turkish state is responsible for the massacre. We call on the Russian, US, EU and international law institutions to take action to prevent Turkey from carrying out further massacres against our people."
