Türkiye responses with force to YPG/PKK terrorist shelling from northern Syria

The Turkish Armed Forces have attacked militants of the YPG/PKK terrorist organization in Syria in response to having fired on Türkiye’s southern Karkamis region from northern Syria.

The settlements with civilians were shelled by terrorists.

"They shell everybody, even children", Caliber.Az reports citing the Turkish National Defence Ministry’s message on Twitter.

Moreover, the ministry assured that the Turkish army will continue holding operations against terrorists, shelling even schools.

Suspected Kurdish militants in Syria fired rockets across the border into Türkiye on November 21, killing at least three people and wounding 10 others, according to ABC News.

The rockets struck a high school and two houses in the town of Karkamis, in Gaziantep province, as well as a truck near a Turkish-Syria border gate.

Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said a teacher and a child are among the dead in one neighbourhood. One of the rockets landed on the grounds of a school but there were no fatalities at the school.

A soldier and seven police officers were wounded overnight in separate shelling by suspected Kurdish militants that targeted a border area in Kilis, Soylu said.

Soylu said Türkiye would respond to the attacks "in the strongest way possible".

The rocket attacks came days after Türkiye launched deadly airstrikes over northern regions of Syria and Iraq, targeting Kurdish groups that Ankara holds responsible for a November 13 bomb attack in Istanbul. The bomb rocked a bustling avenue in the heart of Istanbul on November 13, killing six people and wounding over 80 others.

Turkish authorities blamed the terrorist attack on the PKK and its Syrian affiliate the YPG. The Kurdish militant groups have, however, denied involvement.

Çocuk, yaşlı; öğrenci-öğretmen demeden, masum sivillere yönelik saldırılarını sürdüren, okulları dahi hedef alma alçaklığını gösteren hainlerden yaptıklarının hesabı soruldu, sorulmaya devam ediyor.

TSK, saldırılara misliyle karşılık veriyor.

В ведомстве привлекли внимание к обстрелам мирных населенных пунктов со стороны террористов, которые не ставят различий между взрослыми и детьми.

В Минобороны заверили, что турецкая армия продолжит операции против террористов, обстреливающих даже школы.
