Salwah, Syria

Turkish-backed Syrian rebel fighters fire from the town of Salwah, less than 10km from the border between Syria and Turkey, towards Kurdish forces from the People’s Protection Units (YPG) in the region of Afrin. Turkey’s foreign minister warned against any intervention by Syrian pro-government forces alongside Kurdish militias in northern Syria, saying it would not prevent Ankara from continuing its month-long offensive.
