In a separate operation in northern Syria, Turkish forces “neutralized” two members of the Syrian Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), said the ministry.

The YPG members were detected in the Operation Peace Spring zone of the Turkish military, said the ministry.

Turkish authorities often use the term “neutralized” in their statements to imply that the “terrorists”, in question surrendered, were killed, or were captured.
