The Turkish state, which has been targeting the North-East Syrian territories for years, has escalated its attacks against the region in recent days, killing dozens of people and injuring hundreds of others.
On 8 October, Turkish forces carried out bloody attacks on several locations in Derik and Rimelan, including the Anti-Drug Forces Academy that works to protect society from the repercussions of drugs, as well as oil fields and civilian areas.
The attacks directed against the Anti-Drug Forces Academy in Derik resulted in the martyrdom of 29 members of the Anti-Drug Forces, and the wounding of 28 others.
On 9 October, the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) declared 3 days of general mourning for the souls of the martyrs of the Turkish aggression.
On the first day of the general mourning, all official departments, schools, shops, and markets were closed throughout the regions of North-East Syria.
Work is suspended in all institutions, offices, and departments of the AANES, with the exception of service institutions; municipalities, energy, economy, health, fuel, and the emergency committees in the councils.
