At least 20
civilians were killed Sunday by Turkish shelling against a town
controlled by Kurdish-led groups in northern Syria, a monitor group
reported.
Turkish
airstrikes and artillery targeted the town of Bir Kousa in the
countryside of the city of Jarablus in northern Syria, near the
Turkish borders, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights.
The shelling
apparently aimed at undermining the Kurdish-led Jarablus Military
Council, which fought against the Turkish forces in Jarablus
countryside a day earlier, destroying three Turkish tanks.
Turkish
special forces as well as Ankara-backed Syrian rebel groups crossed
the Turkish borders into Syria last Wednesday.
The campaign
marked the first outright military intervention of the Turkish army
in the quagmire of the Syrian war.
