According to a report by Reuters, the Turkish army struck a convoy entering Syria’s Kurdish-held Afrin region, which Ankara claimed carried fighters and weapons, however Kurdish forces have said that the convoy was carrying civilians entering with food and medicine.
The Turkish military said in a statement on Friday that a fleet of 30 to 40 vehicles belonging to the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia had approached a town in the northwest Afrin region. It claimed that artillery targeted the convoy “carrying terrorists, weapons and ammunition.”
The YPG claims that the convoy was transporting civilians from the Jazeera region and other towns under the control of Kurdish forces.
