    Turkish army shells several villages in the northern countryside of Aleppo and north of Al-Raqqa.

Al Mayadeen correspondent in Syria reported on Sunday that Turkish warplanes bombed a number of villages in the northern countryside of Aleppo and north of Al-Raqqa.

Our correspondent said the Turkish army shelled several villages in the northern countryside of Aleppo and fired missile barrages at the positions of the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Al-Malikiyah area, north of Al-Hasakah, and Ain Issa area, north of Al-Raqqa.

Turkish media reported that a Turkish soldier was killed and two others were wounded as a result of shelling that targeted a border crossing in Kilis Governorate on the Syrian border, and missiles targeted a Turkish base near Bab Al-Salamah crossing inside Turkish territory. Turkish Anadolu news agency reported that the missile hit an area near a border gate.

Turkish warplanes target northern Syria and northern Iraq

Earlier, the Turkish Defense Ministry confirmed that Turkish warplanes carried out air strikes on Kurdish militant bases in northern Syria and northern Iraq and destroyed 89 targets.

In a statement, the Ministry said the strikes targeted bases of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the People's Defense Units (YPG), which Turkey says is a wing of the PKK.

According to the Ministry, the air strikes were carried out in Qandil, Asos, and Hakurk in Iraq and Kobani, Tal Rifat, Cizire, and Derik in Syria.

It is noteworthy that the attacks come days after Ankara accused the PKK of the terrorist attack that targeted Istiklal Avenue in Istanbul and killed six people one week ago.
