A rocket fired by PKK/PYD terrorists from Syria's Afrin has landed near Kilis’s governorate building in southwestern Turkey on Saturday.
The rocket landed on the roof of a five-story building in the neighborhood of 7 December. Two were injured in the aftermath of the attack.
According to the Turkish General Staff, the operation aims to establish security and stability along Turkish borders and the region as well as to protect the Syrian people from the oppression and cruelty of terrorists.
The operation is being carried out under the framework of Turkey’s rights based on international law, UN Security Council’s decisions, self-defense rights under the UN charter and respect for Syria's territorial integrity, it said.
Afrin has been a major hideout for the PYD/PKK since July 2012 when the Assad regime in Syria left the city to the terror group without putting up a fight.
