SULAIMANI (ESTA) — Turkish Defense Minister on Sunday alleged the Syrian Kurds for wounding four Turkish soldiers amid rocket and artillery attacks.
Four Turkish soldiers were wounded in rocket and artillery attacks on bases in northern Syria, according to Turkey’s Ministry of Defense.
The Ministry stated that the attacks were carried out by the Syrian Kurds’ Peoples Protection Units (YPG).
The YPG group forms a key part of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) which is the top US ally in the region.
Turkey has carried out several cross-border military incursions into northern Syria in recent years and has dozens of bases there.
The four soldiers were sent to hospital, the ministry said.
“Ample response is given to the terrorists with strong attacks on targets,” it added.
