Turkey's operation is aimed at clearing the US-backed Kurdish militia -- the People's Protection Units (YPG) -- away from Turkey's border.

'A huge mistake'

The announcement is a major blow to the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, which the United States relied upon heavily as the most effective fighting force against ISIS and the reaction from Kurds so far has been one of anger.

I’m starting a thread here that I’ll be updating with all the latest information about a possible Turkish military operation in northeastern #Syria. Working on the ground in Northern Syria.
2. To recap: In Northern #Syria Turkey wants a 32-kilometer deep, 460 kilometer long safe zone under Turkish control (as per map).
So far the U.S. hasn’t accepted those terms in negotiations. Map of Turkish proposed safe zone in Northern Syria.
3. #BREAKING: Talks finalized today between Turkish and US officials on establishment of safe zone in northern #Syria.
Turkish, US officials agree northern Syria safe-zone will be a "peace corridor" and agreed on establishment of a joint operations centre as soon as possible.

#BREAKING: #Turkish media (#Erdogan's Anadolu Agency) released video of the first S-400 SAM battery of #Turkey which were delivered by two #Russia Air Force's An-124-100 transport airplanes, RA-82038 and RA-82013 from 224th Flight Unit at #Akinci AB, #Ankara few hours ago.
Based on these videos, the #Russia Air Force's An-124-100s transported the first #Turkey's S-400 SAM battery to #Akinci AB, #Ankara without its missiles. The missiles will be probably delivered by sea.
What we can see in these videos are the 5P85TE3 launcher carries and their BAZ-6909 artillery tractors but without any missile. Due to safety reasons & also inability of #Turkey to operate its first S-400 SAM battery, the missiles will be delivered by means of ship in two months.
