11 reported killed in Turkish airstrike on Syrian border post
A Turkish airstrike on a Syria border post run by regime forces killed 11 people, following an overnight flare-up between Ankara’s forces and Kurdish fighters that control the area, a war monitor says.
“Eleven fighters were killed in a Turkish air strike that hit a Syrian regime outpost… near the Turkish border,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says, without specifying if the dead were affiliated with the Damascus government or Kurdish forces.
