In a statement on Saturday, the Media Center of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said, “In a serious escalation that confirms direct Turkish military intervention in Syria and threatens to expand the ongoing conflict in the region, a Turkish “Akinci” unmanned aerial vehicle targeted a military position of our forces in the Haq al-Thawra area south of the city of Tabqa at 6:00 PM today, resulting in material damage.”
The SDF pointed out that this attack is the first of its kind since the signing of the ceasefire agreement following the Battle of Tishrin Dam, constituting a clear violation of the existing understandings and revealing Turkey’s determination to play a direct military role in Syria.
