Dozens killed as Turkey’s Syria assault continues

Casualties are increasing as Turkey presses on with its cross-border offensive on Kurdish-held areas of northern Syria, the BBC reports.

At least 11 civilians have died and dozens of fighters from the Kurdish-led SDF and pro-Turkish factions have been killed, reports say.

The first death of a Turkish soldier was confirmed by Turkey’s military.

Tens of thousands of people have fled homes in the area, as international calls to halt the attack increase.

Turkey moved into northern Syria on Wednesday after the US president Donald Trump pulled US troops out of the area.
