An outpost for the Syrian forces near Afrin was targeted by an airstrike waged by a Turkish jet killing six fighters – including a colonel – and wounding two others.
According to sources, the aerial bombardment struck a gathering for the pro-government fighters stationed along the road linking Afrin to Nubl an al-Zahraa towns.
The road is extensively used by thousands of civilians who fled the battles in Afrin, especially after the Turkish-backed militants managed to entirely seize the city.
Last week, a Turkish airstrike claimed the lives of 8 fighters from the Syrian Popular Forces at al-Ziyarah crossing.
