Syrian regime forces have attacked a Turkish observation point in Syria's Idlib province, the Turkish Defense Ministry said Thursday, in what it assessed to be a deliberate attack involving 35 mortar shells.
Three Turkish soldiers were slightly wounded in the attack, the Defense Ministry said in a statement, and some equipment and facilities were damaged. Ankara has made representations to Moscow about the incident, it said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the Syrian army and its allies shelled rebel-held areas of northwest Syria Wednesday night and early Thursday, despite Russia saying Wednesday that it and Turkey had brokered a new cease-fire there.
