Turkish drones start operating in Northern Syria

Turkish drones have started operating in northern Syria where the U.S. and Turkey have agreed to create a safe zone, Turkey's Defence Ministry said.

Washington and Ankara agreed last week to set up a joint operations center regarding the safe zone to be established in northern Syria. No agreement has been announced on key details such as the size of the zone and the command structure of joint patrols that would be conducted there.

A six-person U.S. delegation arrived in the southern Turkish province of Sanliurfa on Monday to work on the establishment of the operations center, Reuters reported.

The Turkish Defense Ministry added that work was continuing to make the joint operations center in Sanliurfa operational.
