TURKEY BLEEDS FROM IRAQ TO SYRIA (South Front)

Kurdish forces in Iraq and Syria continue to bleed Turkey. Ankara is currently ramping up its efforts to deal with the threat posed by the Kurdistan Workers’ Party in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region and its affiliate the People’s Protection Units (YPG) in northern and northeastern Syria.

In the Iraqi Kurdistan region, Operation Claw-Lock, which was launched by the Turkey on April 17, is still ongoing. As of May 5, the Turkish military has carried out dozens of raids and airstrikes on PKK remnants in the areas of Metina, Zap and Avashin Basyan.



It's likely that the escalated military operations planned by Turkey will be more in the form of an advance/invasion with the use of the drone heavy tactics employed in the Nagorno-Karabakh war.
