At least 18 civilians reported killed in suspected Turkish airstrike in Syria
A Syria monitoring group and a Kurdish news agency say at least 18 civilians were killed in overnight airstrikes, suspected to be Turkish, on a village in northern Syria.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says that at least 19 were killed, including three children, in the attack on the majority Kurdish village of Thulthana, in northern Aleppo province.
The village is in an area controlled by the Islamic State fighters.
The Hawar news agency in the semi-autonomous Kurdish areas in Syria says 18 were killed. It says the attack happened around midnight Tuesday.
There is no immediate comment from Ankara.
