Commenting on the situation in the region, Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar stated that Ankara would not allow "the creation of a terror corridor" near the Turkish border, ranking the Kurdish PYD and YPG groups among the threats to the country.

Damascus has repeatedly condemned the unauthorized operations on Syrian territory and stated that Turkey has been violating the country’s sovereignty.
