Turkiye kills 11 PKK fighters in northern Syria
ANKARA (AA): The Turkish armed forces killed 11 PKK fighters in northern Syria who were preparing to attack areas cleared of “terrorists” following Turkiye’s military operations, the National Defense Ministry said on Saturday.
“Our heroic Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) continue to destroy terror nests in northern Syria,” the ministry said on Twitter, adding that 11 PKK “terrorists” preparing to attack the regions of Operation Peace Spring and Operation Olive Branch were killed.
Since 2016, Ankara has launched a trio of operations across its border in northern Syria: Euphrates Shield (2016), Olive Branch (2018) and Peace Spring (2019).
