Turkiye ‘neutralizes’ 5 YPG/PKK terrorists in northern Syria
Operations to continue without any let-up, says National Defense Ministry

ANKARA (AA) - Turkish forces "neutralized" five YPG/PKK terrorists in northern Syria, the National Defense Ministry said on Monday.
The terrorists were targeted with fire support vehicles in the Euphrates Shield and Peace Spring operations zone, the ministry said on Twitter. "Our operations will continue without slowing down!" it added.
Turkish authorities use the term “neutralize” to imply the terrorists in question surrendered or were killed or captured.
Since 2016, Turkiye 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 Turkiye, the PKK – listed as a terrorist organization by Turkiye, the US, and EU – has been responsible for the deaths of over 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants. The YPG is PKK’s Syrian offshoot.
