translated from Spanish: At least 9 killed by Turkish attacks on Syrian border, Kurds

“Turkish aviation and artillery continue to bomb Ras al-Ain. Today, so far, 9 civilians have been killed,” said the Coordination and Military Operations Center of the Democratic Syrian Forces (FSD), an alliance led by Kurds. Of that figure, FSD spokesman Mustafa Bali claimed that a convoy of civilians was hit by the Turkish Army on its way to Tal Abiad and three civilians were killed and “many others were injured.”
An FSD spokesman, Kino Gabriel, said fighting resumed this morning and, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Turkish forces have advanced between the areas of Tal Abyad and Ras al Ain, controlling several villages and villages. Across the border, at least 16 people were injured on Thursday in several Turkish border towns from projectiles fired from Tal Abiad in Syria.
Turkey plans to resettle two million Syrian refugees
Tal Abiad and Ras al Ain are located on the border strip within the so-called 30-kilometre “safe zone” that Turkey intends to conquer to resettle two million Syrian refugees that they are hosting in their country and who fled the war in Syria , which began in 2011
Ankara began last night ground operation against northern Syria and hours earlier the air campaign against the border. That territory is so far dominated by the People’s Protection Units (YPG), the backbone of the FSD, which have de facto established a local administration, something that deeply unsettles Ankara.
The rest of northern Syria, from the Euphrates to the Mediterranean, is already under the control of Turkish troops, following operation Euphrates Shield north of Aleppo in 2016, and Olive Branch in the Kurdish enclave of Afrin in 2018.
