Aleppo: At least 12 people killed in missile attack on al-Sukkari neighborhood

(Zaman Al Wasl)- At least 12 people killed on Monday in ballistic missile attack on al-Sukkari neighborhood in northern Aleppo city, medics and activists say.

A family of three members were among the casualties as 20 more people were wounded, said Dr. Abu Jafar Kahil, the head of forensic department in rebel-held Aleppo.

Also in Aleppo province, President Tayyip Erdogan said Tuesday Turkey will take it upon itself to deal with attacks on the border town of Kilis if it receives no outside help, in a sign Ankara may be willing to act against ISIS on its own.

"We will overcome the Islamic State (ISIS). We will solve that issue ourselves if we don't receive help to prevent those rockets from hitting Kilis," Erdogan told an international meeting of ministers in Istanbul.

Kilis, which is just across the border from an ISIS-controlled area of Syria, has come under frequent rocket fire in recent weeks. Turkish officials say Ankara needs more help from the U.S.-led coalition in protecting its border. (With Reuters)
