NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg expressed "serious concerns" over Turkey's ongoing military operation against Kurdish forces in Syria.
Stoltenberg urged Turkey to "act with restraint," acknowledging its legitimate security concerns while warning against further regional destabilization.
He emphasized that the operation must not undermine the significant gains made against the Islamic State group, specifically highlighting the risk of captured Daesh prisoners escaping.
Turkey's stated goal is to create a 30-kilometer buffer zone along its border, viewing Kurdish militants as terrorists and aiming to repatriate Syrian refugees.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
