President Tayyip Erdogan repeated his warning that Turkey ‘may suddenly come one night’, a term he has often used to target militants in Syria and Iraq. — Reuters picANKARA, Oct 8 — Turkish forces have killed 58 Kurdish militants in northern Syria in overnight attacks on militant targets, the Defence Ministry said yesterday, as conflict in the region escalated nearly a week after a bomb attack in Ankara.
Since the bomb attack, Ankara has launched a barrage of air strikes and ground-based attacks against militant targets in northern Syria and Iraq, while ramping up security operations at home. Late on Friday, the ministry had said Turkiye’s military had conducted air strikes in northern Syria, destroying 15 militant targets where it said militants were believed to be.
“We will implement our strategy of ending terror at its root with determination, and hold the PKK, FETO, and Daesh to account over every drop of blood they have spilled,” he said referring to the network of US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen whom Ankara accuses of orchestrating a failed coup attempt in 2016 , and the Islamic State.
