Turkey to send commando unit to help quell unrest in Kosovo

Turkey will send a commando battalion of around 500 troops to northern Kosovo to support NATO's peacekeeping mission, KFOR, following a request from NATO's Joint Force Command Naples.
The move comes after violent clashes with ethnic Serbs on Monday left 30 international soldiers wounded, prompting NATO to send an additional 700 troops to the region to bolster existing forces.
The Turkish defense ministry has called for restraint and dialogue to resolve the situation, adding that the commando battalion will be deploying to the Sultan Murat Barracks in Kosovo on June 4-5.
