Our Forces Successfully Defeated the Turkish Occupation and its Mercenaries in the South and East of Manbij

With the participation of hundreds of mercenaries, including members of the so-called “Guardians of Religion organization” from Uzbek, Turkestani, and Chechen nationalities, the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries launched violent attacks on villages south and east of Manbij city, as well as in the countryside of Tishreen Dam. Our forces successfully countered these attacks, eliminating and wounding dozens of mercenaries.

This morning, supported by five Turkish UCAVs and equipped with modern tanks and armored vehicles, the mercenary groups launched fierce attacks on the villages of Al-Atshana, Al-Sa'ideen, Khirbet Tueni, Mahshiyet Sheikh Ubaid Al-Mustafa, Khirbet Zamala, Al-Mustaha, Sa'ideen, Telat Syriatel, and Alloush. However, our fighters successfully thwarted all attacks and eliminated dozens of mercenaries and destroyed six armored vehicles belonging to the mercenaries, including a tank and two vehicles armed with DShK machine guns.

Our fighters engaged in direct clashes with the mercenaries, showcasing extraordinary resistance. Our SDF Media Center will release footage of these clashes and the destruction of enemy vehicles at a later time.

Following these failed attacks, the Turkish occupation escalated its attacks using UCAVs and heavy artillery against the Tishreen Dam and its surrounding areas. These attacks have caused significant damage to parts of the Dam, posing serious risks to the body of the Dam. We hold the Turkish occupation fully responsible for any further damage to the Dam and its surroundings.
