ANKARA - The Kurdish PKK/YPG group has fired four missiles into two schools and one mosque in the centre of the Syrian town of Afrin, killing one person and injuring seven, the Turkish Defence Ministry said on Twitter.
Turkey regards the Syrian Kurdish People's Protection Units, or YPG, as a terrorist organisation for their links to a decades-long Kurdish insurgency inside the country.
In 2018, Turkey led Operation Olive Branch to take over the predominantly-Kurdish district of Afrin in northern Syria, claiming that the militants posed a threat to the country.
