Turkey’s National Defense Ministry released Friday a video showing Turkish forces closing down the tunnels built by the People's Protection Units (YPG) inside the area of Peace Spring operation in northern Syria.
In a Twitter post, the ministry releasing the video wrote: “The tunnels which were built by the PKK/YPG terrorists and which were negatively affecting the lives of the locals in the Operation Peace Spring area are being closed non-stop with the continuous effort since the first day.”
The two-minute video showed the tunnels built under the school buildings which were used as a dwelling by terrorists, and tunnels built to keep watch on the Turkish border, being destroyed by the Turkish soldiers after the identification process.
On Oct. 9 Turkey launched Operation Peace Spring to eliminate YPG from northern Syria in order to secure Turkey’s borders and establish a safe zone to aid the return of some 3 million Syrian refugees.
