SDF denies Turkish allegations on killing its members north Syria

QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – On Monday, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said that what the Turkish Ministry of Defense “claimed” about the killing of seven of its members in north Syria, and damaging a VBIED, was baseless.

The SDF media center issued a statement on Monday in which it announced that the allegations of the Turkish Ministry of Defense about the killing of seven of our fighters and damaging a VBIED in the so-called areas of “Euphrates Shield” are unfounded.  

“The Turkish Ministry of Defense published on its official accounts on March 4, 5 and 7, that it targeted seven of our fighters, in addition to their damaging a VBIED,” the statement said.

“The events mentioned by the Turkish Ministry have nothing to do with the truth, and they are false allegations. The Turkish occupation is trying, through such news, to legitimize its attacks on the region”, the statement added.
