Turkey’s Defense Ministry said on Monday that “YPG/PKK terror group killed at least eight civilians and wounded dozens in a car bomb attack” in northern Syria. It took place in the town of Suluk, southeast of Tal Abyad, which “was liberated on October 13 from YPG/PKK terrorists in Turkey’s Operation Peace Spring,” the military said in a statement on Twitter.

The Kurdish YPG militia are targeting settlement areas under control of Syrian rebel allies which fight alongside the Turkish troops in the operations in northern Syria, the ministry said.

Ankara is seeking international support for plans to settle 1 million Syrians in part of northeast Syria was seized from the YPG militia in a cross-border incursion in October.

Ankara has received little public backing for the proposal and has repeatedly slammed its allies for not supporting its plans, Reuters said.
