Turkey has been accused of hitting a Syrian village with gas. That's according to Reuters, citing Syrian Kurdish forces and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitoring group.
They said Turkish forces and their Syrian insurgent allies hit a village in Syria's Afrin region, near the Turkish border, on Friday. Six people were reportedly hurt, suffering breathing problems and other symptoms indicative of a gas attack. There was no immediate comment from the Turkish military. Turkey launched an air and ground offensive last month on the Afrin region.
