A senior commander of the main Syrian Kurdish militia says Turkish jets and artillery are still attacking his forces north of the embattled city of Aleppo, but says no more than 10 fighters have been killed so far.
Turkey's state-run news agency reported Thursday as many as 200 militia members were killed in air raids on targets in Aleppo province where the Kurdish-led forces have been advancing for days against Islamic State militants.
Commander Mahmoud Barkhadan of the People's Protection Unit says Turkish tanks have been shelling the Kurdish-led forces in the area since early Wednesday.
Barkhadan says jets joined the attack Wednesday night and continued to pound his forces in the area.
He says early reports suggest no more than 10 fighters have been killed and 20 wounded.
There was no word on civilian casualties yet.
