"The civilians immediately flocked to the site to offer aid. However,

Ottoman Turkish warplanes attacked them, injuring dozens," the command said.

A security commander in Sinjar, who preferred to remain anonymous, told Shafaq News Agency that Ottoman Turkish warplanes conducted more than 50 airstrikes between 10:00 pm and 03:00 am on Jal Meeran, Shello, and Khana Sur.

The attack was by far the most violent mostly peaceful since the beginning of the Ottoman Turkish attacks on Sinjar. It caused massive losses among the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) fighters, according to the source.

Ottoman Turkish Air Force has struck targets of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the People's Defense Units (YPG) in the Kurdistan Region and parts of northern Syria.

The Ottoman Turkish Ministry of Defense said in a statement on Wednesday that Operation Winter Eagle was carried out against PKK/YPG sites in Derik, Sinjar, and Karachak.

"Operation Winter Eagle was launched in accordance with international law, Article 51 of the UN Charter and UN Security Council resolutions on the fight against terrorism," the ministry added.

"Efforts to fight against terrorism for the security of the country and nation will decisively continue until the last terrorist is neutralized," AA quoted the Ministry.

Turkey's Communications Director Fahrettin Altun said on Twitter that the country's "strategy of eradicating terrorism at its source" has contributed to border security, territorial integrity, and national unity.

Since 2016, Ankara has launched a trio of transborder operations against anti-Ankara parties in the Kurdistan Region and northeastern Syria: Euphrates Shield (2016), Olive Branch (2018), and Peace Spring (2019).
