DAMASCUS, SYRIA (3:15 P.M.) - At least two Turkish soldiers and two Syrian rebel fighters were killed when Kurdish forces targeted their checkpoint in Afrin region, northern Syria.

According to a statement released by YPG press office, a Kurdish unit carried out a 'sabotage operation' against a checkpoint jointly run by Turkish Army and al-Hamza Division; a Tukish-backed FSA faction.

The operation, which took place in Barbana village of Rajo district, completely destroyed the checkpoint, killing 2 Turkish servicemen and 2 FSA militants, and injuring several others.

Scores of FSA-affiliated militants, including senior commanders, have been assassinated recently by Kurdish units since the Syrian rebels – backed by Turkish military – took over Afrin last March.
