The Media Center of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) issued a statement saying that “Damascus-affiliated factions continue their military escalation through indiscriminate artillery shelling of densely populated areas in the city of Deir Hafer, in a renewed attempt to pressure residents and forcibly displace them from their homes.”
The statement added that during the night “the city has been struck by more than 20 artillery shells, in addition to an attack using an explosive-laden drone, posing a direct threat to civilians’ lives and confirming the deliberate targeting of residential neighborhoods.
Our forces are closely monitoring the situation on the ground and continue to carry out their duties, taking all necessary measures to maintain the security of the city and its residents.”
