ANKARA (AA) - Nine YPG/PKK terrorists were neutralized by Turkish forces in northern Syria, Turkey’s National Defense Ministry said on Wednesday.

Turkish commandos neutralized eight terrorists in the Operation Peace Spring zone and one in the Operation Euphrates Shield region, the ministry said on Twitter.

Turkish authorities use the term “neutralize” to imply the terrorists in question surrendered or were killed or captured.

Since 2016, Ankara has launched a trio of successful anti-terror operations across its border in northern Syria to prevent the formation of a terror corridor and enable the peaceful settlement of residents: Euphrates Shield (2016), Olive Branch (2018), and Peace Spring (2019).

In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK – listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US, and EU – has been responsible for the deaths of at least 40,000 people, including women, children and infants. The YPG is the PKK’s Syrian offshoot.​​​​​​​
