Turkey deploys more military vehicles to Syrian border

Trucks loaded with tanks and howitzers reached Kilis. They were pointed at the Elbeyli district of Syria, according to an Anadolu Agency correspondent on the field.

The military vehicles were transferred amid tight security to troops on the Syrian side of the border, according to a source who spoke on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on speaking with the media.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had announced earlier on Wednesday that Turkey will start a military operation east of the Euphrates river in northern Syria in a "few days."
