Turkish intelligence forces "neutralized" a senior YPG/PKK terrorist in northern Syria, security sources said on Tuesday.
Mehmet Sari, codenamed Baran Kurtay, was targeted in a counter-terrorism operation carried out in Syria's Qamishli province on April 14.
He went to Syria in 2014 following terrorist acts in Türkiye.
Sari, a so-called Raqqa head of the YPG/PKK terror group, was in contact with the so-called leadership of the PKK.
He participated in terrorist activities in Raqqa, north-central Syria.
Turkish authorities use the term "neutralized" to imply the terrorists in question surrendered or were killed or captured.
In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Türkiye, the PKK – listed as a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the US, and EU – has been responsible for the deaths of over 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.
The YPG is the PKK's Syrian offshoot.
