(12 Oct 2019) Turkey on Saturday said it had taken control of central Ras al-Ayn, a key border town in northeastern Syria, in its most significant gain since it launched a cross-border operation against Syrian Kurdish fighters.
The Turkish Defence Ministry tweeted that the residential centre of the town had been "taken under control through the successful operations in the east of the Euphrates (River)".
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, confirmed Turkish troops had entered the town, but added that fighting was still ongoing.
