Baku, October 6, AZERTAC
Turkish forces destroyed 30 targets in northern Syria belonging to the YPG/PKK terrorist group on Thursday, including oil wells and shelters, Anadolu Agency reports citing Türkiye’s National Defense Ministry.
An air operation was carried out against terrorist targets in the Tal Rifat, Jazira and Al-Malikiyah regions at 11 p.m. local time (2000GMT), the ministry said in a statement.
Security forces destroyed a total of 30 targets including oil wells and storage facilities used by the separatist terrorist organization and caves, bunkers, shelters and warehouses, which were considered to contain senior terrorists, it added.
The operation aims to eliminate terrorist attacks against the Turkish people and security forces by “neutralizing” PKK/YPG and other terrorist elements to ensure border security based on self-defense rights arising from Article 51 of the UN Charter, it added.
During the operation, all precautions have been taken to prevent harm to innocent civilians, historical and cultural assets and the environment, it said.
