The Internal Affairs Commission of the North and East Syrian Autonomous Administration announced a comprehensive curfew in order to secure the region in Hasaka and other parts of northern and eastern Syria.
According to this announcement, from today, January 24 to January 31, a complete curfew will be implemented in Hasaka.
In other cities in northern and eastern Syria, a curfew will be imposed from 6 pm to 6 am. "The Turkish government failed to achieve its goals in undermining security and destabilizing the governorate of northern and eastern Syria, so it once again supported ISIS for its treacherous purposes," the statement said.
"Obviously, the internal security forces repulsed these attacks. As the Internal Affairs Commission of the Autonomous Administration, we will announce a curfew in and around Hasaka for a week," the statement further said.
It went on to add "Bakeries, factories, health centers, refueling centers and municipalities are not included by this directive. The ban will apply from 6 pm to 6 am everywhere in northern and eastern Syria, and intercity transportation will be limited. We call on the people to abide by this ban so that our forces can carry out their duties to maintain security and stability in the region.
