Turkey sent more commando units on Wednesday to reinforce its southern provinces near the country's border with Syria.
A military convoy carrying commandos and armored personnel carries first arrived in Hatay province as part of Turkey's recent military reinforcements.
Turkey has been reinforcing its military presence on the border with Syria since Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has signaled that Ankara will soon launch a cross-border operation against the terrorist YPG/PKK in northern Syria.
Since 2016, Ankara has successfully carried out two similar military operations in northern Syria.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- has been responsible for the death of some 40,000 people, including women and children. The YPG is its Syrian branch.
