YPJ spokeswoman Ruken Cemal: We are heroically resisting in Manbij

Women’s Defense Units (YPJ) spokeswoman Ruken Cemal evaluated the attacks of the Turkish state and the gangs it supports on the Manbij Canton. Speaking to Ronahî TV, Cemal noted that an “ANKA” type armed drone belonging to Turkey was shot down in the Til Temir in the canton of Jazira on Monday.

Cemal added: “We have put new warfare techniques into action against Turkey and the gangs it supports. In Manbij, which was a mosaic of peoples and a city of resistance, fierce clashes are taking place. The occupying Turkish state wants to seize the city with massacres. The fighters of the Manbij Military Council have been writing an epical resistance for days. Major blows are being dealt to the gangs. The gangs’ first target was civilians. Dozens of reconnaissance planes are circling over the city of Manbij. People are being targeted. Since they cannot make any progress against our heroic fighters on the ground, they are attacking left and right with aerial attacks.”
