Azaz, Syria– Five civilians were killed and three others seriously wounded in northwest Syria Tuesday when rockets were fired at a city controlled by Turkish proxy forces, a war monitor said.
An AFP correspondent at the scene in Azaz saw three bodies, including one that appeared to be that of a child.
Ankara has repeatedly carried out cross-border strikes against Kurdish positions in northern Syria in recent days.
Earlier Tuesday, three Syrian government soldiers were killed and others wounded in Turkish bombardments of an air base several kilometres south of Azaz, said the Observatory, which has a wide network of sources inside Syria.
Meanwhile in northeast Syria, a Turkish drone strike hit a base used jointly by Kurdish forces and a US-led coalition fighting Islamic State fighters, killing two fighters of the Kurdish-led forces.
Ankara on Sunday launched a series of air strikes, hitting dozens of Kurdish targets across Iraq and Syria, as part of what it has dubbed Operation Claw-Sword.
