Kurds Say Turkish Shelling Killed Three in Syrian Town
Turkish shelling has killed three people in the Syrian town of Ras al-Ayn, the spokesman for the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia said on Tuesday, pointing to the risk of widening hostilities along the Turkish-Syrian border.
Ras al-Ayn is located in Syrian Kurdish-controlled territory some 190 miles east of the Afrin region where the Turkish army launched its offensive four days ago.
