Turkish Jets Bomb Syrian City of Afrin

(KOCABEYLI, Turkey) — Turkish jets bombed the Kurdish-controlled city of Afrin in northern Syria on Saturday, as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan promised to expand Turkey's military border operations against a Kurdish group that has been the U.S.'s key Syria ally in the war on the Islamic State group.

The warplanes attacked Afrin shortly before sunset, Turkish media reported.
