According to a statement released by the Ministry, the incident occurred when the militants targeted the area, prompting a response from Turkish forces. "Three PKK/YPG terrorists who engaged in harassing fire at the Euphrates Shield area were neutralized," the statement read.
The Euphrates Shield operation, launched in 2016, aims to clear the region of terrorist elements and create a secure zone along Türkiye's border with Syria. The Turkish government continues to conduct operations in the area to maintain stability and prevent terrorist activities.
The Ministry reiterated its commitment to ensuring the safety and security of the region, emphasizing that any threats or attacks will be met with decisive action. (ILKHA)
