Turkish airstrikes and shelling reportedly left dozens of civilians dead in northern Syria, as the Turkish military and its allies pushed deeper into the war-torn country. The U.K.-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 35 civilians died in separate attacks by Turkish forces over the weekend. Turkey’s military claimed in a statement that it had killed 25 Syrian Kurdish militia members. Turkey’s invasion of Syria has further complicated the five-year war in Syria. Both Turkey and the Kurdish militias are U.S. allies.
