Turkey shells US-backed Kurdish militia positions in Syria: state media

ISTANBUL, Oct 28, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Turkey’s military on Sunday fired
artillery shells on positions in Syria of a Kurdish militia backed by the

The shells targeted “shelters” of the Kurdish People’s Protection Units
(YPG) east of the Euphrates River in the Kobane region of northern Syria,
Anadolu said.
