Turkey killed 10 Kurdish militants in Syria’s Tel Rifaat

region on Sunday in retaliation for an attack that killed a Turkish soldier,

the Turkish Defense Ministry said on Tuesday.

Turkey says the Kurdish YPG militia in Syria is part of the

PKK militant group, which it designates a terrorist group and which it has been

fighting for more than 30 years.

The United Nations warned on Monday that up to 2 million

refugees could flee to Turkey if fighting intensifies in northwestern Syria as

aid funds run dangerously low.
