Turkish security forces “neutralized” five YPG/PKK terrorists in northern Syria, across Turkey’s border, authorities said on Saturday.
According to the Turkish National Defense Ministry, the terrorists attempted to attack the area of Operation Peace Spring, a Turkish cross-border anti-terror operation.
It said on Twitter that Turkish soldiers had prevented an attempted attack by the terrorists, neutralizing five of them.
Turkish authorities use the term “neutralize” to imply the terrorists in question surrendered or were killed or captured.
