Turkey continues attacking northern Syria for 2nd day

The Turkish military has reportedly shelled positions of the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) in northern Syria for the second day.

According to the reports, the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Sunday’s strikes left two YPG members dead as the Turkish army bombarded YPG targets in Aleppo, calling on the Kurdish forces to withdraw from the areas they had recently recaptured from Takfiri terrorists in northern Syria.

The move came a few days after the Kurdish fighters, backed by Russian air raids, drove foreign-backed terrorists from the Menagh air base near the Turkish frontier.

The YPG, which controls nearly all of Syria’s northern border with Turkey, has been fighting against ISIL Takfiri terrorist group.

Ankara accuses Syrian Kurdish groupو Democratic Union Party, also known as the PYD, and its military wingو the YPG, of having links to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) militant group that has been fighting for an autonomous Kurdish region inside Turkey since the 1980s.
