The Turkish military said its fighter jets hit Syrian Kurdish targets in northern Syria, and killed up to 200 fighters, according to state media.

The jets hit 18 targets in Maarrat Umm Hawsh, a region north of the city of Aleppo, the official news agency Anadolu said.

Quoting the army, the report claimed that between 160 and 200 fighters from the YPG (People's Protection Units) group were killed in the raids on Wednesday night.

A Syrian-Kurdish forces leader, however, said that while Turkish jets and artillery were attacking, no more than 10 fighters had been killed so far.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitoring group, said at least nine YPG fighters were confirmed killed and 26 people were injured in some 20 raids.

Rojava Coordination condemns Turkey’s attacks on Efrîn and Shehba

Rojava Cantons General Coordination has condemned Turkish fighter jets’ intervention and attacks on Shehba and Efrîn in a written statement. The Coordination stated that with these attacks, Turkey has proven once more that they are protecting ISIS.

The Coordination’s statement is as follows:

“Last night, Turkish fighter jets started bombing the Um Al-Qura, Um Al-Hosh and Al-Hesiye villages in the Shehba region liberated from the gangs by Revolutionary Forces intensely. The bombing occurred a few hours after the Revolutionary Forces liberated 5 villages around the Shehba Dam and one cell tower belonging to Syriatel company form the gangs. Bombing of the region and villages in the Efrin Canton continues. Dozens of civilians have lost their lives in the attacks.

As the Rojava Cantons Democratic Autonomous Administration General Coordination, we condemn this intervention by Turkey. We will defend the civilians in Northern Syria with all our means. Turkey has shown once again with these practices that they are protecting ISIS gangs and that they are not in favor of villages in the Shehba region to be liberated from the ISIS gangs.

With these practices, Turkey has trampled international law. We are calling on the peoples of the world, the UN, US, Russia, international law associations and NGOs to break the silence in the face of this situation and pressure Turkey to stop their attacks on Rojava.

We hope the international community won’t stay silent in the face of the Turkish state’s practices, and we call on all cultural structures in Syria to take a stance against the Turkish state’s bombings.”
