Manbij, Syria - April 02, 2025 Anadolu's drone footage captured the countryside of Manbij in northern Syria on Wednesday, April 2. The footage also provides a distant view of the Tishrin Dam on the Euphrates River. Clashes are taking place between forces loyal to the Syrian Defense Ministry and the PKK/YPG terrorist organization in the area, which controls the entrance gate to the Tishrin Dam south of Manbij. Since Dec. 20 last year, PKK/YPG terrorists have continued their attacks around the dam. In its 40-year terror campaign against Türkiye, the PKK has been responsible for the deaths of more than 40,000 victims, including women, children, infants and the elderly. The YPG - also known as the SDF - is its Syrian offshoot. Writing by Aleyna Cil
