"A suitable reaction" to "aggressive actions" from Kurds of the Democratic Union Party(PYD), confirmed Turkish Prime Minister on Sunday, Ahmet Davutoglu to Angela Merkel through a telephone call.

At least two civilians were reportedly killed and several more injured in the village of Maryamayn in northern Syria, as the Turkish army shelled Kurdish militia positions in Aleppo province for the second day in a row on Sunday.

A video released by the Syrian Kurdish news agency ANHA and obtained by Ruptly shows damaged buildings and people rushing to take care of the wounded in the village of Maryamayn near the town of Afrin after reportedly undergoing a Turkish artillery attack.

Washington and Paris have already called on Turkey to cease its shelling of Kurdish targets in Syria. The shelling targeted the Menagh military air base and the nearby village of Maranaz, where “many civilians were wounded,” local journalist Barzan Iso told RT.

Damascus and France condemned Turkey for shelling Syrian territory, describing the act as direct support for “terrorist” groups. The Syrian government also sent a letter to the UN demanding that the UN Security council “take responsibility for international peace and security by putting an end to the crimes committed by the Turkish regime.”
