Turkish jets hammer Syrian town to oust US-backed Kurdish militia
Tehran (KNA) -Turkish airstrikes pounded the Kurdish-held region of Afrin in northern Syria on Saturday, killing at least eight people.
The airstrikes targeted at least 100 locations, the SDF statement said, adding that six civilians were killed and 13 people were wounded.
The military offensive is likely to sharpen tensions between Turkey and the United States, which supports and openly arms Kurdish militias fighting ISIS. The SDF is made up of a number of local rebel groups but mainly from Kurdish militia of the People's Protection Units (YPG).
