8 killed and dozens injured in the first day of Turkey’s military aggression operation

At least eight people were killed and dozens of others injured in the first day of the Turkish aggression military operation in northern Syria, according to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

“Three fighters & 5 civilians martyred. Dozens of civilians injured due to large-scale indiscriminate Turkish shelling on all-long border-line towns of northeastern Syria,” the SDF operation center tweeted late Wednesday.

The Turkish Defense Ministry said earlier today its armed forces hit a total of 181 targets in Syria.

Turkey began a planned military offensive into northeastern Syria on Wednesday, launching airstrikes and artillery fire across the border just days after the Trump administration announced it was pulling US troops back from the area.
