The Şanlıurfa Governor’s Office announced on Thursday that rockets and mortar shells fired by the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) on two Turkish districts killed two people including a baby and injured 46 others, the Diken news website reported.
The projectiles hit the Akçakale and Ceylanpınar districts, which face YPG-held northeastern Syrian territory where Turkey has launched its Operation Peace Spring.
“A 9 month-old baby, Muhammed Omar, and a civil servant at the Akçakale tax office, Cihan Güneş have become the first martyrs of Operation Peace Spring,” said the governor’s office.
Earlier reports on Thursday indicated rocket and mortar attacks against civilian targets at several locations along the Turkish-Syrian border. The police have reportedly been urging residents to move away from the border and remain in their houses.
Turkey on Wednesday launched its offensive against the YPG, which it considers a terrorist group and the Syrian branch of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).
