Shafaq News– Raqqa

On Saturday, Turkiye launched a drone attack targeting a
Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) position in Tabqa, in Syria’s Raqqa province,
the group said, accusing Ankara of violating existing ceasefire understandings.

According to a statement, the raid constitutes a “serious
escalation” since the signing of a ceasefire agreement following the battle of
Tishrin Dam, warning it “threatens to expand the ongoing conflict in the
region.” The group also noted that the incident signaled Ankara’s determination
to assume a direct military role inside Syrian territory.

The SDF did not report casualties, but indicated that the
strike caused material damage.

Turkish authorities have not commented yet on the SDF
claims.

Earlier today, a source within the Syrian government accused
the SDF of launching two suicide drones at a facility linked to the Internal
Security apparatus and the provincial government headquarters, an accusation
the group rejected.

Syria’s state-run news agency SANA reported that Syria’s
Military Operations Authority announced a suspension of military activity in
Sheikh Maqsoud starting at 3:00 p.m., adding that the plan outlined the
transfer of SDF fighters stationed at Yassin Hospital to Tabqa.
