SDF claims killing 4 Turkish soldiers, injuring 5 in northern Hasakah
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced on Tuesday killing four Turkish soldiers and injuring five others in the countryside of the town of Zirgan (Abu Rasin), in northern Hasakah, northeastern Syria.
Between October 5 and late October 9, Turkish forces targeted 209 sites in northern and northeastern Syria, including military posts, residential areas, and infrastructure facilities.
The SDF Media Center said in a statement that within the right of self-defense, the SDF targeted with more than 28 mortar shells the Turkish forces’ posts in the villages of Umm Shuaifa, Bab al-Faraj, Tel Muhammad, al-Dawoodiya, and Abdul Hai in the countryside of the Zirgan, killing four Turkish soldiers and injuring five others.
The SDF added that its forces have killed 15 Turkish soldiers and wounded 13 others “since the beginning of our legitimate retaliation operations recently.”
The SDF denied Turkey’s claims of killing 162 SDF fighters and destroying 194 military posts, calling them “lies and false information.”
