Turkish security forces neutralized at least four YPG/PKK terrorists in northern Syria, the Turkish National Defense Ministry said Saturday.
“OPERATIONS WILL CONTINUE”
On Twitter, the ministry said the terrorists were neutralized when they opened harassing fire in the Operation Olive Branch region, in an area across Turkey’s southern border.
The operations against terrorists will continue without any letup, it added.
Since 2016, Turkey has launched a trio of successful anti-terror operations in northern Syria to prevent the formation of a terror corridor and to enable the peaceful settlement of residents: Euphrates Shield (2016), Olive Branch (2018), and Peace Spring (2019).
Terrorist groups – especially the YPG/PKK – sometimes try to infiltrate and attack these areas to disturb the peace and stability established by Turkey.
