The United States informed Turkey about completing the withdrawal of the Kurdish militants from “safety zone” in the north of Syria, Turkey’s defense ministry reported.

According to the statement, there is no need to carry out a new operation in northern Syria at this stage outside of Turkey's current operation area, Reuters reported.

Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdoğan agreed on joint Russian-Turkish patrols of a buffer zone along a 10-kilometer wide strip of the border.
