A day after an airstrike on a Turkish convoy killed three civilians and injured 12 others, Turkey’s foreign minister on Tuesday warned the Syrian regime against taking any reckless action.
“The regime needs to not play with fire. We will do whatever it takes to secure our troops,” Mevlut Cavusoglu told a press conference in the capital Ankara.
Monday’s attack occurred amid a troop transfer to Idlib in northwestern Syria meant to ensure the safety of an observation post in the de-escalation zone, keep supply routes open, and prevent civilian casualties in the region.
