Syria: Turkish Airstrikes Kill Dozens of Civilians
--------------------------------------------------

Turkish airstrikes and shelling reportedly left dozens of civilians dead
in northern Syria, as the Turkish military and its allies pushed deeper
into the war-torn country. The U.K.-based Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights said 35 civilians died in separate attacks by Turkish forces over
the weekend. Turkey's military claimed in a statement that it had killed
25 Syrian Kurdish militia members. Turkey's invasion of Syria has
further complicated the five-year war in Syria. Both Turkey and the
Kurdish militias are U.S. allies.
