ERBIL, Kurdistan Region (Kurdistan24) - Turkey's army, a key NATO ally, announced on Friday the killing of 71 US-backed Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) who are fighting the Islamic State (IS) in Syria.
In a press release, the Turkish General Staff said the figure belonged to the dates March 2-9, as a ground incursion into northern Syria largely halted due to an encounter with the US and Russian armies in a strip of land crowded with competing forces.
In total, Turkey killed 425 and wounded 37 YPG fighters in the area since the beginning of the Operation Euphrates Shield in August 2016, read the release.
The announcement came as the US strengthened its foothold in Syria with additional special operations soldiers and armed vehicles seen patrolling a demarcation line between YPG-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Turkish army proxies near the town of Manbij to keep clashes at bay."
