The Turkish Ministry of Defense announced earlier on Sunday that its forces launched the air-sword operation in northern Iraq and Syria against Kurdish fighters in Iraq and Syria, a week after a bombing of Istanbul was killed in Istanbul.
“We are starting the sword-sword process from now,” said Defense Minister Khulusi Akar, before the start of the aircraft from their bases to strike.
A statement by the Ministry of Defense confirmed that Akar supervised the attack from the Air Force operating room with senior military commanders.

“Insquares, shelters, caves, tunnels and warehouses belonging to the terrorists have been destroyed,” Akar said..
