Two killed in Turkish drone attack in Kobane: conflict monitor
2021-10-21
[Rudaw] Ottoman Turkish drones on Wednesday targeted a vehicle in the Kurdish city of Kobane in northern Syria a conflict monitor said, reporting causalities.

The attack killed two military personnel who were in the car, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said.

Security forces have cordoned off the area preventing more people from being harmed, it added.

Hawar News Agency both reported the attack, not disclosing details.

The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
has not confirmed the offensive yet.

The assault follows Ankara’s fresh threats of military force against Kurdish forces in Syria. President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than there are in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really most important...
has blamed the People’s Protection Units (YPG) for the death of two Ottoman Turkish coppers on the Syrian border last week.

"We have no patience left regarding some areas in Syria which are the source of attacks on our country," Erdogan told news hounds. "We are determined to eliminate the threats emanating from these places either together with the forces active there or with our own means."

The YPG is a Kurdish armed force in northeastern Syria. Ankara considers it to be the Syrian extension of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), named a terrorist group in Turkey. Ankara has used this alleged link as a pretext for multiple military operations across the border into Rojava.

In October 2019, Turkey launched an offensive against Kurdish forces in northeast Syria. Ceasefires were brokered by Moscow and Washington, but the truces are frequently violated.
