Water supplies to the city of Raqqa in northern Syria were completely cut on Sunday after the SDF group blew up the Old Bridge over the Euphrates River, according to the Syrian News Agency (SANA).

SANA cited the Raqqa Media Directorate as saying that “water supplies to the city of Raqqa were completely cut off after the SDF blew up the main water pipelines supplying the city, which run along the Old Bridge.”

Later, the group also detonated the New Al-Rashid Bridge in Raqqa, the agency reported.

Earlier, the Syrian Army established full control of the strategic al-Tabqah district in Raqqa province after expelling YPG/SDG terror group forces.

The Syrian Army Operations Department said government forces secured the district and cleared it of YPG/SDG terrorists.
