Turkish forces neutralized at least three PKK/YPG terrorists in northern Syria, a region near the Turkish border, the National Defense Ministry said on Tuesday.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media that in the Peace Spring zone, commandos neutralized three PKK/YPG terrorists who "attempted to disrupt the local environment of peace and security," the ministry said on Twitter.

Turkish authorities often use the word "neutralized" in statements to imply the terrorists in question surrendered or were killed or captured.
