8 PKK/YPG members "neutralized" in northern Syria, Turkey's Defense Ministry says
8 PKK/YPG members have been killed in the Operation Peace Spring area, Turkish Defense Ministry said on Twitter on Thursday.
"Our heroic commandos "neutralized" 8 PKK/YPG terrorists, who were preparing to attack on our troops in the Operation Peace Spring area,” the ministry said.
Turkish officials prefer to use the word "neutralized" instead of "surrendered" or "were killed" or "captured". (ILKHA)
