Turkey hits back at Syria army positions: activists

BEIRUT, LEBANON: Turkey hit back on Wednesday for fire from the Syrian side of the border that killed five people by hitting Syrian army positions across from the town of Akcakale which was hit, activists said.

"Syrian tanks in Raqa province shelled Tal al-Abyad on the (Syrian side of the) border, and some of the shells fell on Turkish territory," a Raqa-based activist who identified himself only as Wael told AFP via the Internet.

"The Turks then fired shells in response," he added. His account was corroborated by another activist, and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
