Syrian Group Says Turkey Mounts Airstrike South of Border
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Turkish warplanes struck civilian homes and positions held by a group allied to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) alliance in a village south of Jarablus Saturday, the group said in a statement.
The Jarablus Military Council, part of the Kurdish-backed SDF, said the attack on the village of al-Amarna caused civilian casualties and called it "a dangerous escalation that threatens the fate of the region."
There was no immediate comment from Turkish officials.
A Reuters witness saw unidentified warplanes flying over the border region into Syria from Turkey early on Saturday morning, followed by the sound of explosions.
