The martyred soldier was hospitalized in a Hatay hospital before succumbing to his wounds
A Turkish soldier was martyred by a sniper shot from by terrorists across the border in a PYD/PKK-controlled part of northwestern Syria, the Turkish military said on Wednesday.
The soldier was martyred in the Turkish border province of Hatay. The shooting came two days after the YPG, the Syrian offshoot of the PKK terrorist organization, said Russia was setting up a military base in Syria bordering Hatay and would help train its fighters, which was later denied by Russia's Defense Ministry.
The Turkish military said in a statement that it had returned fire in retaliation after the soldier was martyred.
