ANKARA, Oct. 6 (Xinhua) -- Turkish security forces responded to an "attack" by the Syrian Kurdish People's Defense Units (YPG) in northern Syria and killed 26 Kurdish militants, Türkiye's Defense Ministry said on Friday.
Türkiye's retaliation came after the YPG launched an "attack" on the Dabiq Base area in the Euphrates Shield Operation zone of the Turkish military in northern Syria late Thursday, the ministry said in a statement.
Turkish warplanes also launched airstrikes against the YPG and hit 30 targets in the Tal Rifaat, Jazira and Derik regions on Thursday night, according to the ministry. ■
