At least 25 people were killed in northern Syria on Tuesday after Turkey launched airstrikes and an artillery bombardment targeting Assad regime forces and Kurdish fighters, reports Arab News.
The Turkish shelling began overnight, when artillery salvoes hit the town and around its edges.
It continued throughout the day, and at least one child was killed.
According to the report, Kurdish YPG militia fighters from the Syrian Democratic Forces responded with a mortar attack on a Turkish military border post in Sanliurfa province that killed one soldier and injured four.
Following the attack, Turkish forces conducted retaliatory fire against targets in the Kobane area.
