On Wednesday, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) accused Syrian government forces of shelling the Tishrin Dam nearby areas in eastern Aleppo with heavy weapons.
The dam, under SDF control along with several villages, has been a flashpoint in clashes with Turkish-backed factions since the fall of al-Assad regime late last year.
In a statement, the SDF said the strikes hit the dam’s structure, workers’ housing, and surrounding villages, warning of “grave danger” to civilians and essential infrastructure. It described the bombardment as “a serious escalation” and a “clear violation” of ceasefire agreements, stressing that such attacks jeopardize stability in the region.
