Text:

The SDF responded firmly to suicide drone attacks in the vicinity of Tishreen Dam carried out by armed factions backed by Turkey and affiliated with the Damascus government, namely Sultan Murad, Sultan Suleiman Shah (Al-Amshat), and Al-Hamzat.

The attacks caused no casualties, while our forces struck the launch sources, resulting in confirmed injuries among the attackers.
Rudaw adds:
The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said on Tuesday that they responded to two attacks by Damascus-affiliated forces near Tishreen Dam in northern Syria.

Labeling the development as a "dangerous escalation," the SDF blamed The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
-backed gangs for the attack which they said targeted a residential area near the strategic dam at 11 am. Two suicide drones were used in the attack but they did not cause any casualties among SDF forces.

"At exactly 4:00 pm. the same day, the same factions resumed their attacks, targeting the Syriatel hill in the vicinity of Tishreen Dam with two additional suicide drones, again without causing any injuries," added the SDF.

The SDF targeted a "military vehicle" in response to the attacks which resulted in "confirmed casualties among their ranks."

The Kurdish-led force on Monday said that three of their fighters were maimed as a result of an attack by Damascus-affiliated forces at the dam.

The dam, located southeast of Manbij city on the Euphrates River, was constructed in 1999 and is one of Syria’s largest in terms of production and capacity. It generates electricity and once provided power to much of the Kurdish-held northeast Syria (Rojava).

Syrian militia groups have launched sporadic attacks on the structure since November, seeking to control the dam for easier access into other areas held by the SDF. The attacks have dramatically decreased since SDF chief Mazloum Abdi and Syrian interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa signed a landmark agreement in March, which includes a nationwide ceasefire and the integration of all civil and military institutions in Rojava into the Syrian state.
