ANKARA: Turkish intelligence forces eliminated 23 PKK/YPG targets in Syria, according to information from security sources on Sunday.
Trkiye’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT) focused its efforts on strategic targets held by the PKK/YPG terror group in Syria, said the sources on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to media.
These targets included energy/infrastructure and so-called military and intelligence facilities, including ammunition depots and high-ranking terrorists.
The 23 targets included five critical infrastructure sites used for terror purposes by the PKK/YPG, three checkpoints, eight so-called military facilities, two ammunition depots, two logistics depots, and two technical vehicle depots.
This followed a recent terrorist attack on Turkish security forces in northern Iraq on Friday.
Following the killing of nine Turkish soldiers on Friday in a terror attack in northern Iraq, security forces began to crack down on PKK terrorists.
PKK terrorists often hide out in
northern Iraq to plot cross-border attacks in Trkiye. The group also has a Syrian branch, known as the YPG.
In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Trkiye, the PKK – listed as a terrorist organization by Trkiye, the US, and EU – has been responsible for the deaths of more than 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.???????
