13 PKK/YPG members killed in northern Syria—Turkish Defense Ministry
13 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 Friday.
“Thirteen PKK/YPG terrorists, who opened harassment fire in order to disrupt the peace and security in the Euphrates Shield and Peace Spring regions in northern Syria, were neutralized by our Turkish Armed Forces,” the statement said.
Turkish Defense Ministry uses the word “neutralized” in its statements instead of “killed”, ”captured” or “surrendered”. (ILKHA)
