The Turkish military eliminated 11 YPG/PKK terrorists in retaliation for rockets fired into the Türkiye-Syria border area, the Defense Ministry said Friday, Trend reports citing Daily Sabah.
"PKK/YPG terrorists carried out a multi-barrel rocket attack from Tal Rifaat to the area of our Oncupınar Border Post. While there was no damage/loss in our units, the terrorist targets were hit strongly within the scope of self-defense," the ministry said in a written statement.
Any attack by the terrorists will not remain unanswered, it reiterated.
The statement came shortly after the governor's office of Türkiye's southern Kilis province said eight multi-barrel rocket launchers fired by YPG/PKK terrorists in northern Syria landed in the Oncupınar border crossing area in Kilis near the border with Syria.
