'Colleagues are dead': Turkish airstrike kills civilians, including journalist
WARNING - GRAPHIC CONTENT: A Turkish air strike on a convoy in the Syrian town of Ras al Ain has killed 14 people, including five civilians, and wounded 10, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says.
Observatory director Rami Abdulrahman says the strike hit a gathering of civilians who went to Ras al Ain from the city of Qamishli to show support for the town targeted by Turkish forces attacking Kurdish-led forces in northern Syria.
Several foreign journalists were with the convoy when it was struck, according to a reporter from French broadcaster France 2.
"Syria. We were in the convoy of Kurdish civilians targeted by Turkish forces and their allies at Ras al Ain," Stephanie Perez wrote on Twitter.
"Our team is fine, but some colleagues are dead."
There were no details available on who the colleagues were.
France 2 aired footage of the incident, showing images of civilians mixed in with Kurdish-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) who were heading towards Ras al Ain.
The images showed bodies on the ground, burnt-out armoured vehicles and other destroyed trucks and buildings.
An SDF statement said Turkish "invading forces" had targeted a civilian convoy with international media journalists on board that was heading to Ras al Ain accompanied by its fighters. It said "tens of civilians were dead and injured".
