Turkey’s Defense Ministry: 12 PKK/YPG members killed in northern Syria
12 PKK/YPG members were neutralized in the areas of Operation Peace Spring and Operation Euphrates Shield in northern Syria, Turkey’s Defense Ministry said in a statement on Thursday.
“12 PKK/YPG members, who were in preparation for attacks against the areas of Operation Peace Spring and the Operation Euphrates Shield, were neutralized by our Turkish Armed Forces in a successful operation,” the statement said.
Turkish Defense Ministry uses the word “neutralized” in its statements instead of “killed”, ”captured” or “surrendered”. (ILKHA)
