The Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES) made a written statement on the attacks of the Turkish state against the region. According to the statement on Saturday, civilian settlements, infrastructure and service institutions were targeted in the attacks that have been going on for the last three days, “Today, many areas in Amûdê city, education and construction facilities, settlements such as Til Temir and Gir Ziro were bombed.”

DAANES said that many civilians were wounded and martyred in the intensified attacks of the Turkish state on the region, emphasising that these attacks created deep uneasiness among the people.

DAANES pointed out that the aim was to weaken the economy of the region and to aggravate the current embargo against the region, especially by targeting the service infrastructure. Due to the attacks, especially health services, fuel, mills and many other institutions went out of service, and basic services such as fuel and food supply came to a standstill, the statement noted.

The statement said that 17 civilians, including children, were martyred and 48 people were wounded in the latest wave of attacks in recent days. Pointing out that the attacks continued under the silence of the international coalition forces, Russia and other parties, DAANES said: “This situation shows that the process has taken a dangerous turn. It is clear that the Turkish state will try every means to undermine the fight against terrorism, incite chaos and prepare the ground for humanitarian disaster. A strong and responsible stance must be taken against these attacks.”

‘With the will of our people, we will continue our struggle against all plans that try to frustrate our freedom and determination. The will of the peoples will triumph,” underlined AANES.
