SDF: New wave of attacks on North and Eastern Syria

Over the past hours, the Turkish occupation state launched a new wave of attacks on North and Eastern Syria Region, targeting civilian infrastructure, people gatherings, and security forces. These attacks resulted in the martyrdom of 12 civilians, including two children,(eight in Derik and four in Tal Rifa’at in Al-Shahba’a areas), and injuries to 25 others, including serious injuries.

In addition to populated areas, Turkish warplanes and UAVs targeted bakeries, power stations, oil facilities, and Internal Security Force checkpoints. These essential civic facilities were among the 42 civic sites struck by Turkish artillery shelling.

This repeated barbaric aggression demonstrates Turkey’s hostility towards our people in North and Eastern Syria. It is a stark reminder of the threat posed by Turkey’s criminal mentality to the region’s peace and stability. Turkey is attempting to export its internal crises at the expense of our people, sowing chaos and escalating tensions.

Our Syrian Democratic Forces SDF, once again facing Turkish aggression, will not hesitate to fulfill their duty to protect our people and our regions.
