Summary
Description Mortar Bullet Hits House in Akcakale, Turkey on Syria Border.webm |
English:
Video from VOA Turkish service shows a residential building hit by a mortar bullet in the southeastern Turkish city of Akcakale, near the Syria-Turkey border, Sunday, October 13. Incoming shells fired from northeastern Syria hit the building early Sunday. Two residents were at the house and were evacuated.
Police and medical teams were deployed to the scene. Damage to the house left on a hole where the mortar shell hit. Tel Abyad, the Syrian side of the border, continues to be targeted by Turkish artillery units since early Sunday morning. The U.N. warns that conditions for hundreds of thousands of civilians caught in the midst of Turkey's military offensive in Kurdish-controlled areas of north-eastern Syria is rapidly deteriorating. Turkey began its so-called Operation Peace Spring five days ago to oust the Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces, which it views as a terrorist organization. However, most of the West views them as key partners in the fight against Islamic State. The civilian "collateral" damage of the Turkish operation already is huge. The U.N. office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs estimates more than 130,000 people are newly displaced. OCHA spokesman, Jens Laerke, said most displaced people are staying with relatives and host communities, but a growing number are living in collective shelters. https://www.voanews.com/middle-east/un-warns-condition-civilians-caught-turkish-offensive-syria |
