Turkish military, FSA liberate 3 more villages in Afrin
World Bulletin / News Desk

The Turkish military and Free Syrian Army (FSA) on Saturday liberated three more villages in northwestern Syria's Afrin region from YPG/PKK terrorists.

According to Anadolu Agency correspondents on the ground, the villages of Babak Ushagi, Qorta, and Qasha in Bulbul, northwestern Afrin were cleared of terrorists by the ongoing Operation Olive Branch.

Since the beginning of the operation, the Turkish military and Free Syrian Army have liberated 167 locations, including five town centers, 131 villages, 31 strategic areas, and one YPG/PKK base.

Of course, I don't agree with the headline, "liberated". It's an example of how State Media or sympathetic media might report things to their country. That said, there is some question as to whether some of these villages are actually Arab majority.
