Turkish jets hit 45 targets in operation on Syria's Afrin

Turkish jets hit 45 targets in northern Syria's Afrin region on Sunday, the military said, as ground forces pushed into the area in an operation dubbed 'Olive Branch' targeting U.S.-backed terrorists from the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK)'s Syrian offshoot, the PYD.

In a statement, Turkey's armed forces said 32 warplanes had carried out the air strikes aimed at shelters, hideouts, and ammunition and weapons depots belonging to the PKK/PYD terrorists.
