More than 30 terrorists killed as Turkish military targets PKK, PYD in southeast Turkey, Syria

The Turkish military resumed its operations against the PKK terror organization and its Syrian affiliate PYD on Sunday, killing at least 32 terrorists in southeastern Turkey and northern Syria.

Military sources said that at least 25 PKK/PYD militants were killed in airstrikes conducted as part of the international coalition near northern Syria’s Jarablus. The airstrikes came after Turkish units supporting Free Syrian Army (FSA) elements in Operation Euphrates Shield were targeted by the terrorist groups, which are armed by the U.S.

Five buildings being used by PYD militants were also destroyed in the airstrikes.

Meanwhile in the southeast of Turkey, security forces killed at least seven PKK terrorists and heavily injured two others in Şemdinli district’s Cedikan-Samanlı region, which borders Iraq. According to military sources Turkish forces are under heavy fire from across the border.

One Turkish soldier was heavily wounded in the clashes.
