Turkish operation in Afrin targeted civilians

The Turkish air force may have failed to take all feasible precautions prior to launching certain attacks, leading to the death of civilians during its attack on Afrin province of Syria, United Nations human rights investigators concluded in a report on Wednesday.

The REPORT, based on 400 interviews, documented the aerial and ground attacks of the Turkish Operation Olive Branch that began on January 20, 2018. It also documented human rights abuses by Turkish-backed rebels after the Turkish military occupied Afrin province on March 18, 2018.
