United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has raised concerns over clashes between Turkish and Syrian troops in northwest Syria. Guterres' spokesperson called the clashes in Idlib province a "threat to regional and international peace and security." Between January 31 and February 2, at least 25 communities were reportedly affected by artillery shelling, while 47 communities were reportedly impacted by airstrikes. Turkey says seven of its soldiers and one contractor were killed in the shelling. Rebels claim airstrikes killed at least nine civilians on Monday.
