🔴 BREAKING NEWS

ATTACKS REPELLED IN SIRRIN!

This morning, ISIS, HTS, and the Turkish state launched an attack in the city of Sirin with heavy weapons, howitzers, and tanks. In response, SDF, YPG, and YPJ fighters fiercely retaliated and repelled the attacks. One vehicle loaded with a DShK heavy machine gun, two motorcycles, and one armored vehicle belonging to the gangs were destroyed.

Numerous gang members were also killed and wounded, and fighters recovered the bodies of the gang members. A large number of weapons belonging to the gangs were also seized.

Syrian Government Media have now started to create the narrative that Kurds do not exist in Syria - paving the way for the ethnic displacement and cleansing of Kurds in Syria.

These are the same people who stated that Kurds are an integral part of Syria one week ago.

Damascus Continues Attacks Despite Ceasefire Agreement

Despite the ceasefire agreement, Damascus-backed factions continue their attacks on Kobani and the al-Aqtan prison in Raqqa.

Simultaneously with the shelling of al-Aqtan prison, which houses ISIS militants, these factions targeted the outskirts of the town of Sarrin and attacked the village of Khrouss, south of Kobani, using heavy weapons and artillery. The entire southern and southwestern countryside of Kobani was also subjected to a barrage of artillery fire, and the shelling continues as of the time of this report.

We are attaching to this statement videos published by accounts affiliated with these factions, documenting the artillery shelling they are carrying out on areas south of Kobani.

This constitutes a violation of the ceasefire for the second consecutive day. Yesterday also saw 22 violations committed by these factions, including attacks on Kobani, Hasakah, and al-Aqtan prison.

In addition to military attacks, Damascus continues its policy of collective punishment by cutting off water and electricity to the city of Kobani and preventing fuel deliveries amidst harsh winter conditions. Simultaneously, it continues to cut off water to the al-Aqtan prison in Raqqa, posing a direct threat to the lives of prisoners and foreshadowing serious humanitarian consequences.

We hold Damascus fully responsible for these ongoing violations and emphasize that the continued targeting of populated areas and sensitive facilities, including detention centers for ISIS members, constitutes a grave threat to security and stability. We also call upon the guarantor states to take immediate and effective measures to halt these violations and ensure full adherence to the ceasefire agreement.

SDF fighters spoke from the village of Addê in Til Barak.

"The region is under our control. Those who try to intimidate our people with special warfare policies should watch closely. We are here, we have given thousands of martyrs, and we will not allow the gangs to enter our lands."
