Misleading claims regarding the Tel Kojer/Al-Ya'rubiyah explosion

We categorically deny the claims made by the Minister of Defense of the Damascus government, who alleged that our forces carried out an attack targeting an ammunition depot in the Tel Kojer/Al-Ya'rubiyah area.

We confirm that our forces had no military activity in that area, nor did we carry out any operation of this kind. According to confirmed information available to us, the explosion resulted from an accident during the transfer of ammunition by Damascus factions, and our forces have no connection to it whatsoever.
