The Turkish intelligence teams destroyed on Tuesday nearly 50 facilities belonging to the PKK terror group in several Syrian cities, with senior terrorists targeted as well, security sources said.
The National Intelligence Organization, which targets the PKK's mobility and infrastructure, had found that all materials-from clothing to weapons, explosives to daily life supplies-used by the terror group, were produced in its facilities in Syria, said the sources on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to media.
Via its
agents in the field, the Turkish intelligence learnt that the PKK is operating
its military, economic, and logistical facilities under the guise of civilian
facilities in the Syrian cities of Ayn al-Arab, Kamishli, and Amuda in Syria.
The
discovery was followed by the destruction of all the targeted infrastructure
facilities of the terror group, including key campuses, headquarters and
facilities, as well senior terror group elements.
Tuesday's
operation came after Friday's PKK terror attack that killed 12 Turkish soldiers
in northern Iraq.
PKK
terrorists often hide out in northern Iraq to plot cross-border attacks in
Türkiye. It also has a Syrian branch, known as the YPG, according to Turkish media.
