Turkey: 2 civilians killed in YPG/PKK attack from Syria

Terrorist YPG/PKK targets civilians in Suruc district of Turkey’s southeastern Sanliurfa province

By Kemal Karagoz

SANLIURFA, Turkey (AA) – Two civilians were killed in southeastern Turkey Friday by a terrorist YPG/PKK mortar attack coming from across the border in northern Syria.

The killings took place in the border district of Suruc in the Sanliurfa province amid Turkey’s newly launched anti-terror operation in northern Syria.

Turkey on Wednesday launched Operation Peace Spring east of the Euphrates River in northern Syria to secure its borders by eliminating terrorist elements and to ensure the safe return of Syrian refugees and Syria’s territorial integrity.

Ankara wants to eliminate terrorist elements of the PKK and its Syrian offshoot, the PYD/YPG, from the region.

In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the European Union -- has been responsible for the deaths of 40,000 people, including women, children and infants.

This is a developing story, and updates will follow.
