In mortar attacks targeting civilians in Turkey’s southeastern Sirnak province on Wednesday, the terrorist YPG/PKK injured three people.
The terror group fired mortar bombs from northern Syria at a civilian settlement in the rural area of the Cizre district.
The injured civilians were rushed to nearby hospitals.
Turkey on Oct. 9 launched Operation Peace Spring to eliminate terrorists from northern Syria in order to secure Turkey’s borders, aid in the safe return of Syrian refugees and ensure Syria’s territorial integrity.
Ankara wants to clear northern Syria east of the Euphrates River of the terrorist YPG/PKK.
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 deaths of 40,000 people, including women, children and infants. YPG is the Syrian branch of the PKK.
