6 civilians have been killed and 70 others injured in rocket and mortar attacks launched by People's Protection Units (YPG) terrorists from northern Syria to Turkey's southeastern Şanlıurfa and Mardin provinces on Thursday, APA reports citing Daily Sabah.
Two people, including a baby, were killed and 46 civilians were injured in mortar attacks launched against the Turkish border town of Akçakale, Şanlıurfa Governor's Office said Thursday.
In the Nusaybin district of Mardin, two more civilians were killed and 24 people were injured on Thursday.
Turkey launched Operation Peace Spring, the third in a series of cross-border anti-terror operations in northern Syria targeting terrorists affiliated with Daesh and the PKK's Syrian offshoot the People's Protection Units (YPG), on October 9 at 4 p.m.
The operation, conducted in line with the country's right to self-defense borne out of international law and U.N. Security Council resolutions, aims to establish a terror-free safe zone for Syrians return in the area east of the Euphrates River controlled by the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which is dominated by YPG terrorists.
The PKK — listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the European Union — has waged a terror campaign against Turkey for more than 30 years, resulting in the deaths of nearly 40,000 people, including women, children and infants.
