Turkey summoned the ambassadors of Russia and Iran to complain about what it said was Syrian government forces' violation of the borders of the Idlib de-escalation zone, Turkish foreign ministry sources said Tuesday.
Turkey asked the envoys to urge the Syrian government in Damascus to end the border violations, the sources said.
Russia and Iran strongly support Bashar Assad's government, while Turkey backs some of the groups opposed to him.
More violations reported on Tuesday in other de-escalation zones in southern Daraa province and the northern countryside of central Homs.
Two children killed and dozen more wounded in regime artillery on the de-escalation zone of northern Homs countryside, local reporter said.
The artillery bombardment targeted the town of Kafrlaha, the largest town in al-Hola region, an array opposition-held villages and towns.
Northern Homs is the third de-escalation zone agreed by Iran, Turkey and Russia in Astana last August. (With Reuters)
