Teşrîn under control of QSD
KOBANÊ (DİHA) - Combatants of Syrian Democratic Forces (QSD) who are continuing 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.
According to the reports from the region, QSD combatants have taken all the roads leading to the dam under their control since last night. In the wake of clashes throughout the night, QSD forces have taken control of the dam, while fighting in the area continues.
The Tishrin Dam, 110 km to the south of Kobanê, has a strategic importance as a main route connecting Jarablus and Raqqa road. Seizure of the dam from ISIS will give the QSD forces a strategic superiority.
