Turkish armored vehicles do not face serious resistance from the self-defense forces of the Kurds, which depart from the border into the territory of Syria, the channel said.
Turkish tanks entered the Syrian Afrin, supporting the opposition Free Syrian Army in the operation against the Kurdish formations. This is reported by the Turkish television channel NTV, referring to military sources.
On the second day of the Turkish operation, the Olive branch of the formation of the Free Syrian Army entered Afrin and began a large-scale operation on land.
It is noted that Turkish armored vehicles do not face the serious resistance of the Kurdish self-defense forces that depart from the border into the territory of Syria.
Earlier, Chief of the General Staff of Turkey, General Hulusi Akar, stated that the operation of the Olive Branch would be aimed exclusively at "terrorists, their shelters, housing, weapons, tools and equipment."
Earlier, the Turkish military subjected to massive artillery fire the position of Kurds in the Afrin region in the province of Aleppo in the north of Syria.
In addition, Turkish aircraft hit the Minnig airfield in northwestern Syria, which is under the control of the forces of the People's Self-Defense Forces.
