Since April 17, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have been cutting off electricity to the areas under the control of the Turkish-backed opposition in northeast Syria, mainly in Ras al-Ain in the northern countryside of Hasakah and Tell Abyad in the northern countryside of Raqqa, under the pretext of the drop in water levels in the Euphrates River caused by Turkey.
The power cuts continue although the damage to the high-tension 230-kilovolt line supplying the area with electricity from the Tishrin Dam was repaired May 4, after it was struck by SDF shelling.
