Turkey Says Its Four Soldiers Killed in Car Bombing in Syria
2020-01-09
[SPUTNIKNEWS] The Ottoman Turkish Defence Ministry has given no further details as to the exact area of the earth-shattering kaboom or who is responsible for the attack.

On Wednesday, four Ottoman Turkish servicemen were killed in a car explosion in the north of Syria, the AFP news outlet reported, citing The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...Qatar's satrapy in Asia Minor...
's Ministry of Defence.

According to AFP, the soldiers were killed on road patrol in the region where Operation Peace Spring had taken place last October.

On 9 October 2019, Turkey conducted a military incursion, dubbed Operation Peace Spring, into Syrian border areas controlled by the Kurdish turbans. Damascus views the Ottoman Turkish offensive as a violation of Syria's illusory sovereignty.
