Turkey bombs vicinity of Tishrin Dam during arrival of a civilian convoy

The occupying Turkish state shelled the vicinity of Tishrin Dam during the arrival of a civilian convoy in the area.

According to reports from the ground, the occupying Turkish state shelled the vicinity of the Tishrin Dam area at 14:48 local time today.

The attack took place during the arrival of a civilian convoy from Cizîr and Kobanê cantons.

The attack reportedly targeted locations on the route of the people's convoy, resulting in injuries.

Despite the bombardment, the convoy moved forward and reached Tishrin Dam.


On 8 January, the Turkish state bombed a convoy of civilians on their way to the Tishrin Dam, which faces the risk of an imminent collapse due to intensified attacks by Turkish troops and allied mercenaries. The convoy of civilians from Tabqa, Raqqa, Cizire and Euphrates Cantons was bombed by a Turkish drone en route to the dam, killing 3 people and injuring 15 others.

People from North-East Syria have been holding a vigil at the dam for eight days to protect their territory alongside the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Women's Defense Units (YPJ) that are confronting ever-increasing attacks by the Turkish army and allied mercenaries.
