Turkey has stepped up its attacks in Kurdish-controlled areas of Syria since a July 19 summit with Iran and Russia failed to green-light a fresh offensive against Kurdish fighters viewed by Ankara as terrorists.Ī Turkish drone strike on Tuesday killed at least four people in the Kurdish-controlled region of Hasakeh, the latest in a spate of similar attacks. "Thirteen terrorists were neutralised" in retaliatory attacks by Ankara inside Syria, the ministry said, adding that operations in the region were ongoing. Kurdish forces also struck inside Turkish territory overnight, killing one soldier, Turkey's defence ministry said. The strikes took place near the Kurdish-held town of Kobane, the site of overnight clashes between Turkish forces and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). "Any attack on a military outpost run by our armed forces will be met with a direct and immediate response on all fronts," SANA said. At least three Syrian soldiers were among the dead and six were wounded in the Turkish raids, said the official SANA news agency, citing a military source.
