Turkiye kills 12 PKK fighters in northern Syria
ANKARA (AA) – The Turkish armed forces killed a dozen PKK fighters in northern Syria as they were preparing to attack areas cleared by Turkiye’s military operations, the Ministry of National Defense said on Thursday.
“Our heroic Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) continue to destroy terror nests in northern Syria,” the ministry said in a statement, adding 12 PKK “terrorists” preparing to attack the regions of Operation Peace Spring and Operation Euphrates Shield were killed.
Since 2016, Ankara has launched a trio of successful anti-terror operations across its border in northern Syria: Euphrates Shield (2016), Olive Branch (2018) and Peace Spring (2019).
