“On Monday, our fighters successfully conducted a precise operation targeting a gathering point of Turkish occupation mercenaries on the Deir Hafer front. The attack resulted in the elimination of two mercenaries, the injury of another, and the destruction of a military vehicle (Toyota). Additionally, our fighters targeted another position of the mercenaries in the village of al-Imam, wounding one mercenary.

On the Tishreen Dam front, our Martyr Haroun Units targeted mercenaries gathering in the vicinity of the Syriatel Hill. In a separate operation, they also targeted a second gathering of mercenaries in the village of Haj Hussein. Both operations led to multiple casualties among the mercenaries, though the exact number remains unknown. Meanwhile, Turkish occupation and its mercenaries bombarded, using heavy artillery, the vicinity of the dam throughout Saturday night and into Sunday.

Additionally, Turkish occupation warplanes launched several airstrikes on workers’ housing near the dam, causing material damage.

Turkish occupation warplanes also conducted a series of airstrikes in the vicinity of the town of Seikhler (Al-Shuyoukh), west of Kobani, alongside heavy artillery shelling that impacted surrounding villages, leading to significant material damage to civilian homes and properties. Turkish occupation UCAVs remain active over the region.

Furthermore, Turkish occupation and its mercenaries shelled the outskirts of Ain Issa and its surrounding countryside with heavy weaponry, resulting in the injury of one civilian. Turkish occupation warplanes remained in the area’s airspace throughout yesterday.

Additionally, one mercenary was eliminated during an operation conducted by our forces targeting a mercenary gathering in the northern countryside of Tal Tamir.”
