(Zaman Al Wasl)- Two regime forces were killed and ten wounded on Thursday in Turkish artillery fire in northeastern Syria, activists said.
The artillery barrage hit the village of Al-Abboush near the border town of Ras Al-Ayn after clashes erupted between Turkish-backed Syrian National Army and regime forces.
Opposition activists said the Turkish artilley had also hit the Kurdish YPG militants in the village of al-Rabiaat on Wednesday.
The Turkish military and the Syrian National Army attacked Kurdish forces in northeastern Syria on October 9 with the aim of creating a roughly 30-kilometer (20-mile) deep buffer zone.
Kurdish forces agreed to withdraw from a 120-kilometer (75 mile) long, Arab-majority segment of the 440-kilometer (275-mile) border zone, although clashes have been reported since.
Turkey subsequently reached a deal with the Syrian regime's main backer Russia for Kurdish forces to pull back from the entire border area
