Syrian town of Tel Abyad cleared of YPG and Daesh terrorists

The Turkish army and its Syrian rebel allies advanced into the centre of the Syrian town of Tel Abyad on Sunday. Tel Abyad is a town on the Syrian border and one of the main focal points of the Turkish offensive that began on Wednesday against the YPG and Daesh terrorists in the region.

The city center of Syria's Tel Abyad district has been cleared of YPG/PKK and Daesh terrorists as a part of Turkey's ongoing military operation dubbed "Operation Peace Spring" in the northeastern region of the war-torn country.

Turkey-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) has taken the control of the district.

Tel Abyad has become the second city center after Ras al Ayn, which was taken control of within the scope of the ongoing Operation Peace Branch.

So far, a total of two city centers, one town and 56 villages have been liberated from YPG/PKK terrorists.

Anadolu Agency reporters in Turkey's border district of Akçakale in southeastern Şanlıurfa province shot a footage in which SNA fighters can be seen cheering after taking control of the Tel Abyad city center.

Early afternoon, SNA rebels fighting on the frontline made heavy gains in the western part of the district.

SNA seized YPG/PKK's so-called Department of Public Affairs in the clashes.

Turkey on Oct. 9 launched Operation Peace Spring to eliminate terrorists from northern Syria in order to secure Turkey's borders, aid in the safe return of Syrian refugees, and ensure Syria's territorial integrity.

Ankara wants to clear east of the Euphrates River in northern Syria of the terrorist group PKK and its Syrian offshoot, the PYD/YPG.

In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S., and the European Union -- has been responsible for the deaths of 40,000 people, including women, children and infants.
