1 Turkish soldier killed, amid shaky cease-fire in Syria 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy the Associated PressTurkey’s defense ministry says one soldier has been killed amid sporadic clashes with Kurdish fighters in northern Syria, despite a US-brokered cease-fire. Sunday’s ministry statement said that Syrian Kurdish fighters have violated the three-day-old cease-fire some 20 times. The ministry also said it allowed a 39-vehicle humanitarian convoy to enter Ras al-Ayn, a key border town that’s seen some of the heaviest fighting. Turkey considers the Syrian Kurdish groups terrorists for their links to a decades-long Kurdish insurgency inside Turkey.
