At least nine YPG/PKK terrorists were neutralized by Turkish security forces in northern Syria, Turkey’s National Defense Ministry said on Wednesday.
TERRORISTS OPENED HARASSMENT FIRE
The terrorists were neutralized after they “opened harassment fire with mortars and multi-barrel rocket launchers on the [Operation] Peace Spring area,” the ministry said in a tweet.
Since 2016, Turkey has launched a trio of successful anti-terror operations across its border in northern Syria to prevent the formation of a terror corridor and enable the peaceful settlement of residents: Euphrates Shield (2016), Olive Branch (2018), and Peace Spring (2019).
