Turkish army helicopter was shot down by Syrian Kurdish YPG fighters near the north Syrian town of Afrin, Reuters reports President Tayyip Erdogan saying: “One of our helicopters was downed just recently,” Erdogan said speaking to members of his AK Party (AKP) in Istanbul. “These things will happen, we are in a war… We might lose a helicopter, but they’ll pay the price for this.”

He did not mention any casualties.

YPG sources separately confirmed the downing of the helicopter, the first officially confirmed destruction of a Turkish aircraft over Syria during the country’s long-running civil war.
