Eight children said killed in Turkish shelling on north Syria

BEIRUT, Lebanon — Eight children are among nine people killed in a Turkish artillery attack that hits near a school in a northern Syrian town today, a Britain-based war monitor says.

Those killed in the attack on Kurdish-held Tal Rifaat were all displaced from the Afrin region which was captured last year by Turkish troops and their Syrian proxies, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says.
