DAMASCUS, SYRIA (0:30 P.M.) – At least three Turkish soldiers were killed-in-action after PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party) militants conducted a succesful ambush on September 15.
According to a newly released PKK statement, the Turkish troops were caught off-guard on Friday by Kurdish machine-gun fire on the Cudi Mountain, not far from the village of Biliki.
In sight of a barrage of bullets and casualties in their own ranks, the Turkish Army responded fire while rearguard artillery units targeted the hostile Kurdish belligerents minutes later, forcing them to call off the raid.
Meanwhile, the Turkish Air Force said it had neutralized 11 PKK insurgents in Turkey’s southeastern provinces of Siirt and Hakkari on Sunday alone.
Earlier this month, the PKK claimed to have shot dead 28 Turkish soldiers is separate attacks in the same governorates. On the other hand, the Turkish military claims it killed nearly 100 PKK fighters in just two weeks of August.

DAMASCUS, SYRIA (8:40 P.M.) – On Sunday around noon, Turkish soldiers crossed the border into a Kurdish-held part of northern Syria after which heavy clashes broke out between the warring parties.
According to a local outlet, the Turkish military briefly entered outskirts of Bubana town, some 15 kilometers west of Ayn Al-Arab (Kobane), but were quickly expelled by Kurdish border guards.
Sporadic skirmishes continue in the region with bullets flying across both sides of the border.
Despite being the strongest ally of the US-led coalition, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) remain at odds with the Turkish military due to ties with the outlet PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party).
The Turkish Army and allied Islamist groups already control a large chunk of territory in northern Aleppo; however, the Turkish-led forces are yet to push east of the Euphrates River despite ongoing aspirations of reaching Raqqa province.

Turkish media also reported that the country’s security forces killed about 17 PKK fighters and captured 10 more in the period from August 14 to August 20 in a series of anti-terror raids.
Tensions between Ankara and the Kurds escalated in July 2015 when a ceasefire between Turkey and the PKK collapsed over a series of terror attacks allegedly committed by PKK members. The Turkish forces are currently involved in anti-PKK raids across the country, as well as against Kurdish positions in neighboring Syria and Iraq.
