Unfortunately, today 5 civilians were killed in a terrorist attack.

Axar.az reports that the statement came from Turkish National Defense Minister Hulusi Akar.

He said that terrorists will definitely be held accountable:

"Currently, our troops are in the region. Our struggle will continue until the last terrorist is neutralized."

Assessing the situation in Idlib, the minister said that although short-term gunfire was heard, the ceasefire was generally observed:

"The third Turkish-Russian patrol has ended today. The patrols will continue. We wish this ceasefire to continue and be permanent."
