Turkey sends military equipment to Syrian border
The Turkish military deployed military equipment at the Syrian-Turkish border on 28 November.
The military equipment was sent to the border province Kilis after the Kurds forces in Syria’s Afrin district opened fire on the province a few kilometres away, as a result of which one of the Turkish soldiers was wounded, Ermenihaber reported citing Haberler Turkish media outlet.
According to the source, the army sent howitzers, detachments of gendarmes and armored vehicles to the border. The Turkish media also reminded at the recent National Security Council meeting in Ankara, the Turkish officials hinted that they may relaunch the military operations in Afrin.
Turkey considers the Kurdish Syrian fighters, known by the initials YPG, to be terrorists, viewing them as a threat to Turkey’s border security.
