An underground train tunnel complex built by the YPG terrorist organization under a mountain in the town of Sarrin, connected to the Ayn al-Arab region in northern Syria, has been discovered following a military operation by the Syrian Army.
Anadolu filmed the underground structure, described as an "underground city", built by the terrorist group and consisting of a vast network of interconnected tunnels.
Following an operation that liberated the town of Sarrin from YPG control, Syrian Army units discovered a system of tunnels built under a mountain overlooking the town.
The tunnels, built on three levels and connected to each other, contained large quantities of weapons and documents belonging to the terrorist organization.
Some parts of the tunnel network were wide and large enough to allow the passage of vehicles such as cars or small trucks.
Many tunnels were also equipped with electrical and water lines, forming a labyrinthine structure. Some connected sections were reinforced with armored doors.
The underground complex includes many kitchens and bedrooms built to accommodate YPG members.
In addition to the organization's symbols and banners, the site contains a cinema hall, an amphitheater, and a bakery. Tools and equipment used for digging tunnels were also spotted inside the structure.
The site in Sarrin stands out as one of the largest networks of tunnels discovered by the Syrian Army in areas recaptured from terrorist organizations.
The structure served as one of the organization's "command centers"
Brigadier General Sayf Bulad, commander of the Syrian Army's 76th Division, spoke to Anadolu Agency during an inspection of the tunnels in Sarrin and said that the underground structure served as "one of the command centers of the terrorist organization."
Stressing the strategic importance of the underground complex for the organization, Bulad said that Syrian Army forces have secured the tunnels under their control and cleared mines laid by the group.
He stressed that many publications belonging to the terrorist organization were also found inside the tunnels.
"The terrorist organization used these materials to direct Kurdish children towards terrorist methods and change their lives. They prepared them to manipulate Kurdish youth and spread discord and division among Arabs, Kurds, Assyrians and Turkmen, with the aim of damaging the social fabric of Syria. However, all of this, including the organization's dreams of creating a state in northeastern Syria, has been destroyed, with God's help, thanks to the heroes of the Syrian Ministry of Defense," Bulad said.
He added that authorities intend to turn the site into a museum to show future generations what the terrorist organization has done in the area.
