The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) Press Centre published a statement detailing the outcome of the successful resistance carried out by its fighters.
The statement said: "The resistance of our fighters against the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries intensifies daily, particularly along the fronts of the Tishrin Dam and the Qereqozax, inflicting significant losses on the mercenaries and their equipment, while the Turkish occupation pushes them towards an inevitable and ultimately futile demise."
The statement continued: "On Tuesday afternoon, Twith the support of the Turkish warplanes and UCAVs, the mercenaries launched a large-scale attack from the “Abu Saeed” farm towards the “Syriatel Hill” area and its environs. This attack utilized armored vehicles, including BMBs and those equipped with DShK weapons, alongside tanks. Fierce clashes erupted between our fighters and the mercenaries, resulting in the destruction of two armored vehicles belonging to the mercenaries and the damage to another. It was confirmed that 18 mercenaries were eliminated, and 9 others were wounded, while the others fled the battlefield.
The mercenaries launched a renewed attack on Syriatel Hill. However, a vehicle equipped with a DShK weapon and a BMB armored vehicle were destroyed, and the attack was effectively repelled.
In total, our forces conducted 19 operations against the mercenaries, as follows:
7 BMB armored vehicles were destroyed.
3 tanks were destroyed.
6 vehicles equipped with DShK weapons were destroyed.
Targeting 3 mercenary gatherings.
Following the foiled attacks, the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries resorted, as is their usual tactic, to the bombardment utilizing UCAVs and heavy artillery, which resulted in the martyrdom of 5 of our fighters."
The statement added: "Moreover, Turkish occupation warplanes conducted 4 airstrikes on Berkel mountain south of Kobani, in addition to the shelling with heavy artillery fire. This resulted in some material damage. The flights of Turkish occupation warplanes and UCAVs over the region persisted throughout Tuesday.
On the Ain Issa front, our fighters launched an attack against the Turkish occupation mercenaries in the village of “Abu Al-Duhur.”
This resulted in the destruction of a Toyota military vehicle and eliminated and injured several mercenaries, though the exact number of eliminated and injured mercenaries remains unconfirmed.
Furthermore, the Bir Arab village was subjected to heavy artillery bombardment by the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries. The mercenaries also attacked the village using two suicide drones, one of which exploded, resulting in the injury of one of our fighters, and the other was successfully intercepted and destroyed by our forces. The flights of Turkish occupation UCAVs in the airspace continued throughout the day yesterday.
On the Qereqozax front, the fierce resistance of our forces effectively prevented the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries from launching any attacks.
However, the Turkish occupation resorted to aerial bombardment, conducting 9 airstrikes on each of the following locations: the Dican village, the Serrin silos and airport and the hill of Maghrabtin. The airstrike on the Dican village targeted civilian homes, leaving the fate of several families uncertain. The intensity of the Turkish aerial bombardment by warplanes and UCAVs has made it impossible to ascertain the fate of these individuals.
Furthermore, in the late hours of Tuesday, warplanes targeted the vicinity of the Qereqozax Bridge. Simultaneously, the villages of Bir Hisso, Ja’da, and Dican, were hit by the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries using heavy artillery, mortars, and rocket launchers."
