The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced that their units were able to repel all advances by Syrian transitional government troops in the southern outskirts of Deir Hafer. However, several fighters were injured during attacks by a Turkish Bayraktar combat drone on an SDF position between Tabqa and Maskanah.
A statement by the SDF said that attacks on the front line in the village of Zubayda in Deir Hafer had been responded to. The attacking groups were ultimately forced to retreat hastily. There were also reports of an attack by a Turkish Bayraktar combat drone, which is said to have targeted an SDF position in the village of Al-Bu Asi, west of the city of Tabqa. According to the information provided, SDF fighters were injured in this attack.
In a second drone attack on the same village between Maskanah and Tabqa, carried out with a Turkish Bayraktar combat drone, further fighters from the SDF are reported to have suffered injuries. More detailed information on the number or identity of the injured or the severity of their injuries is not yet available.
