KOBANÊ (DİHA) - QSD fighters have crossed over to the western side of the Euphrates River declared as "redline" by Turkish President Erdoğan.

Syrian Democratic Forces (QSD) have crossed over to the western side of the Tishrin Dam they have liberated earlier today. Combatants of QSD, who are going on the operation in southern Kobanê, have reached Tishrim Dam early this morning.

After encircling the dam and its surroundings, QSD fighters took control of the dam following clashes with ISIS gangs in this area, and entirely liberated from ISIS occupation Saturday afternoon.

As the offensive in the area continues, QSD combatants have reached the western bank of the dam where mop-up operations are going on at the moment.

The area of Tishrin, which is affiliated to the Munbic town of Aleppo, is located 115 km to Aleppo; 80 km to Serxet border (with Turkey); and 70 km southwest of Kobanê. 

The western side of Euphrates River had been declared as "redline" by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
