Accounts on social media circulated a claim that the administration of the Euphrates Dam had opened the fifth spillway gate to discharge water and ease the pressure on the dam’s body.
Kashaf traced the circulating report by reviewing official government sources and websites, and found that the Raqqa Media Directorate denied the claims about opening the fifth spillway gate of the Euphrates Dam, confirming in an official statement that the circulating reports are entirely baseless.
Why is this claim misleading?
False news: Official bodies, represented by the Raqqa Media Directorate, denied any intention or measure to open the fifth gate, stating that water flows and dam pressure are under control and that rumors claiming exceptional measures are untrue.
