Turkiye kills 13 PKK fighters in Syria
ANKARA (AA) – Turkish military forces in an operation in northern Syria on Monday killed at least 13 PKK fighters who were allegedly preparing to strike regions that were cleared of terrorism through Turkiye’s counter-terrorism campaigns.
The National Defense Ministry said in a tweet that the “terrorists” were preparing to target regions cleared of terror elements with Turkiye’s operations of Olive Branch, Peace Spring, and Euphrates Shield.
“No attempt of terror attack goes unpunished!” the ministry said.
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).
