The Syrian Democratic Forces Press Centre said in a statement that they had arrested an agent affiliated with Turkey while he was about to conduct a terrorist action.

The statement reads as follows: "As part of Operation Oath, our SDF Special Forces arrested an agent affiliated with the Turkish occupation, while he was about to conduct a terrorist act targeting the civilian concentrations in the city of Heseke using a VBIED equipped with 6-kilo IED that was dismantled by our special forces.

These malicious Turkish attempts to target the concentrations of civilians are part of the recent systematic violations and brutal escalated aggressions by the Turkish occupation against our people.

Our forces reaffirm their commitment to defend our people against Turkish aggressions and we will strike a blow to those attempting to undermine the security of our region."
