At least 11 civilians were wounded in a bomb attack carried out by the YPG/PKK terror group
in the northern Syrian city of al-Bab, the Turkish National Defense Ministry said on Sunday.



In a statement, the ministry said the terrorist group targeted an Operation Euphrates Shield
area.

At least 11 innocent civilians were injured, one of them critically, in the attack, it added.

Since 2016, Turkey has launched a trio of successful anti-terrorist operations across its border
in northern Syria to prevent the formation of a terror corridor and enable peaceful settlement
of locals: Euphrates Shield (2016), Olive Branch (2018) and Peace Spring (2019).

In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist
organization by Turkey, the US and EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of 40,000
people, including women, children, and infants. The YPG is the PKK’s Syrian offshoot.
