According to initial reports, the rockets which were launched by PYD/PKK terrorist members in Afrin, hit four houses in central Kilis' Ekrem Cetin and Baris neighborhoods.

The operation was being carried out under the framework of Turkey's rights based on international law, UN Security Council's decisions, self-defense rights under the UN charter and respect to Syria's territorial integrity, the Turkish General Staff has said.



The military also said only terrorist targets were being destroyed and 'utmost importance' was being given to not harm any civilian.
