Turkish forces shell Syrian air base captured by Kurds

BEIRUT - Turkish forces on Saturday shelled a Syrian air base and a village captured by Kurdish fighters from insurgents in recent days in northern Syria, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported.

 

A Kurdish official confirmed the shelling of Menagh air base in the northern Aleppo countryside, which he said had been captured by the Kurdish-allied Jaysh al-Thuwwar group rather than the Kurdish YPG militia.

 

Both are part of the Syria Democratic Forces alliance.

 

There was no immediate comment from Turkey.
