No Turkish ceasefire with Syrian Kurdish fighters: Turkish military sources

ANKARA/ISTANBUL (Reuters) - The Turkish military has not agreed any ceasefire with Kurdish militia fighters in northern Syria, Turkish military sources said on Tuesday, after a Kurdish official said a truce was holding. Separately, the Turkish foreign ministry said in a statement that Turkey's military operation in Syria would continue until all militant threats to Turkish security were removed. It said comments from the United States, which is seeking a de-escalation between Turkish-backed forces and Kurdish fighters, about the target of the Turkish action were unacceptable and Ankara expected a U.S. pledge that Kurdish fighters would remain east of the Euphrates to be fulfilled.
