In an official statement published on its website, the SDF stated, “We deny targeting a armed forces point belonging to Damascus near Tishrin Dam.

The SDF reaffirmed its adherence to the principle of non-escalation and its ongoing efforts to preserve stability along contact lines, particularly in areas where tensions occasionally rise between SDF-controlled territories and zones held by Syrian government forces. The statement further underlined the SDF’s commitment to “continuing its efforts to counter threats that endanger the safety and security of all residents, regardless of their affiliations or backgrounds. ” SDF also called on media outlets to verify information from credible sources and avoid spreading inaccurate or misleading reports that could escalate tensions or misinform public opinion. Tishrin Dam, located on the Euphrates River in northern Syria, remains a strategically crucial facility supplying electricity and water to multiple areas under the administration of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES).

The SDF maintains positions nearby as part of broader regional security operations coordinated with the AANES and the Global Coalition. By Atoun Jan
