The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) Press Center announced the outcome of their legitimate response operations against the attacks by the Turkish army and its mercenaries on January 27.

The SDF statement on Tuesday includes the following:

"On January 27, the Turkish occupation conducted aerial bombardments using warplanes and UCAVs on villages near the Tishreen Dam from morning until the evening. These attacks were accompanied by intense artillery shelling. While five airstrikes were carried out, the shelling did not result in any significant damage.

In response to these aggressions, our Martyr Haroun Units executed three strikes on a gathering of mercenaries located between the “Syriatel Hill” and the “Martyr Sawsan Camp”. These strikes resulted in confirmed casualties among the mercenaries, with the exact number of eliminated and injured mercenaries yet to be determined. The remaining mercenaries fled the area. Additionally, a mercenary vehicle was successfully targeted and completely destroyed.

Our fighters also conducted an operation using heavy weaponry on a mercenary gathering point near the “Syriatel Hill”. This operation resulted in the complete destruction of the gathering point and inflicted numerous casualties among the mercenaries. Two mercenaries were confirmed eliminated, along with three injuries.

On the Deir Hafer front, despite continuous aerial overflights, our Martyr Haroun Units conducted two targeted strikes. In the first one, they successfully destroyed a mercenary vehicle, while the other one resulted in the destruction of a mercenary point.

An attempt by mercenaries to infiltrate and launch an attack on one of our forces’ positions on the Deir Hafer front was effectively countered by our fighters. One mercenary was eliminated in the engagement, and a vehicle, along with several weapons, was seized.

Furthermore, our fighters conducted several operations targeting mercenaries’ gathering points on the Qara Qwzaq Bridge front. These operations included an attack on a mercenary checkpoint on the “Khudey Hill”, resulting in the destruction of a mercenary vehicle and causing numerous casualties among their ranks.

Additionally, attacks were launched on the villages of “Imo Tomb” and “Tal Arash,” inflicting further casualties on the mercenaries. Our Martyr Haroun Units also executed two precision strikes, targeting a mercenary base on the "Khudey Hill” and a gathering point on the “Nowruz Hill”. These strikes resulted in the destruction of a mercenary tank and a gathering point.

In response to the heavy losses inflicted on the mercenaries by our forces, the Turkish occupation launched violent airstrikes on the villages of “Ghasaq, al-Tineh, Bir Hisso, Karak, and Melha,” as well as Serrin airport, “Saifi Hill”, and Serrin silos. These airstrikes were accompanied by indiscriminate heavy artillery shelling that also affected the villages of “Ghasaq, al-Tineh, Ja’ada, Bir Hisso, Dekan, and Qara Qwzaq. However, the shelling did not cause any damage to our forces."
