"Yesterday afternoon, at 12:45 PM, Turkish occupation mercenaries launched an attack on the “Abu Saeed” farm, located southeast of Manbij. They initiated their attack utilizing BMB vehicles and armored vehicles. Intense clashes erupted between our fighters and the mercenaries. Simultaneously, our Martyr Haroun Units targeted mercenary gatherings, eliminating and injuring several mercenaries and forcing them to retreat. The mercenaries subsequently renewed their attack, but again met with robust resistance from our forces. Clashes continued until the early evening, resulting in:

1. Five armored vehicles were destroyed.

2. Two military vehicles were destroyed.

In addition to the previously mentioned engagements, gatherings and points of the mercenaries were also targeted with heavy weaponry.

In these clashes, /23/ mercenaries were confirmed eliminated, and an additional /24/ were injured, including /10/ with serious injuries.

On the Qaraqozaq front, our fighters utilized heavy weaponry and rocket launchers to target mercenary points and positions in the village of Qabir Imo, and the vicinity of Syriatel Tower, resulting in the elimination of five mercenaries and injuries to 12 others.
