Tensions in northern Syria have reached new heights as PKK/YPG militants intensify their attacks on civilians and Turkish-backed forces, prompting swift responses from Türkiye. The conflict underscores the ongoing struggle to stabilize the region and protect local populations.
In the town center of Manbij, northern Syria, a deadly car bomb exploded, killing two people and injuring two others. According to the Syrian National Army, the attack was orchestrated by PKK/YPG terrorists. The incident follows a recent Turkish-supported operation that liberated Manbij from PKK/YPG control.
Since December 20, the PKK/YPG has ramped up assaults near the Tishrin Dam, utilizing heavy weaponry, including Grad rockets, and employing underground tunnels for surprise attacks. These tactics have added to the volatility of an already fragile region.
Türkiye’s National Defense Ministry announced that its security forces had "neutralized" four PKK/YPG militants near the Turkish border in northern Iraq and Syria. Two militants were targeted in airstrikes in Iraq, while the other two were intercepted during an attempted attack in Syria.
The PKK/YPG, designated as a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the United States, and the European Union, has been accused of exploiting the chaos in Syria to establish a so-called “terror corridor” along the Turkish border. The group’s 40-year insurgency has claimed over 40,000 lives, including numerous civilian casualties.
Turkish officials emphasize that ongoing military operations are aimed at ensuring security for civilians in northern Syria and dismantling the PKK/YPG’s presence in the region. While Türkiye’s actions have drawn international attention, they remain steadfast in their commitment to countering the group’s influence.
As the conflict continues, the humanitarian and geopolitical stakes remain high, with efforts focused on restoring peace and stability to northern Syria.
