Turkish Defense Ministry said Saturday that 8 PKK/YPG members were killed in the area of Operation Peace Spring in northern Syria.
“10 PKK/YPG terrorists, who were preparing an attack on our positions in the area of Operation Peace Spring, were neutralized by our troops,” the Ministry said.
Turkish Defense Ministry uses the word “neutralized” in its statements instead of “killed”, ”captured” or “surrendered”.
Operation Peace Spring by the Turkish Armed Forces (TAF), was a cross-border military operation conducted by the Turkish military and the Syrian National Army (SNA) against the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in northern Syria.
The military operation began on 9 October 2019 when the Turkish Air Force launched airstrikes on border towns. (ILKHA)
