| [Iraq Sun] Turkish warplanes killed up to 200 Kurdish militia members in northern Syria, the Turkish military said on Thursday. The jets hit 18 targets in Maarrat Umm Hawsh, a region north of the city of Aleppo, official news agency Anadolu said. Between 160 and 200 gunnies from the YPG (People's Protection Units) group were killed in 26 strikes on Wednesday night, the report stated, citing the army. Syrian Kurdish leaders denied the figure, saying no more than 10 fighters had been killed. YPG and the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) have been designated as terror groups linked to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... has been fighting against for several years. Turkey says the group is an extension of its own outlawed Kurdish gunnies who have carried out a series of deadly attacks in Turkey over the past year. The PKK, proscribed as a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... , has waged a bloody insurgency against the Turkish state since 1984. Anadolu said nine buildings used as YPG headquarters, meeting points, shelters and weapons depots were destroyed as well one armoured vehicle and four other vehicles. The exact location of the attacks was not disclosed in the statement. |
