SDF reports retaliatory operations amid ongoing Turkish attacks on Tishrin and Qereqozax fronts

SDF forces continue their retaliatory operations on Tishrin Dam and Qereqozax fronts in response to escalating Turkish occupation attacks.

The Turkish occupation army and its mercenaries are intensifying their daily attacks on north and eastern Syria, yet they have made no significant progress due to the steadfast resistance of the SDF fighters.

In a statement providing information about the latest developments on the ground, the Press Center of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said the following:

“Yesterday on the Tishreen Dam front, Turkish occupation warplanes carried out multiple airstrikes targeting the dam’s vicinity, including workers’ housing. Heavy Turkish artillery fire also struck villages in the southeastern countryside of Manbij, causing extensive material damage to civilian homes. Additionally, one of our positions was targeted, resulting in minor injuries to one of our fighters.

As the occupation’s mercenaries were preparing to launch an attack on our positions, our Martyr Haroun Units conducted an operation against them, eliminating two mercenaries and destroying an ammunition depot and a military vehicle belonging to the mercenaries. Severe damage was inflicted to the mercenaries’ position.

In addition, our Martyr Haroun Units successfully intercepted and destroyed a suicide drone as it attempted to attack our positions.

On the Qara Qwzaq front, Turkish occupation warplanes launched several airstrikes on the village of Ghasq and a fuel station near the Serrin town junction. These strikes were accompanied by intense shelling from artillery, tanks, rocket launchers, and mortars, targeting the villages of al-Tina, Ja’dah, Bir Hisso, Ghasq, Dekan, Melha, and al-Sana’, as well as the Sayfi Hill and Qara Qwzaq Hill near the bridge. More than 180 shells indiscriminately struck these areas, causing significant destruction to homes and civilian properties.

In response to these attacks, our fighters carried out an operation targeting the bases and fortifications of the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries in the western countryside near the Qara Qwzaq bridge. One mercenary was confirmed eliminated, and two others were wounded.

In Kobani, Turkish occupation warplanes launched two airstrikes on Mount Barkal, southeast of the city, alongside heavy artillery shelling, resulting in material damage. Turkish warplanes and UCAVs continued to hover over the city and its surrounding areas throughout the day.

Additionally, Turkish occupation warplanes and UCAVs remained active over the town of Ain Issa and its surrounding areas.

The total confirmed casualties among the mercenaries include three eliminated and two wounded. Furthermore, a suicide drone and a military vehicle were successfully destroyed.”
