Turkish forces were bombed at their positions near the city of Sackeby this morning, causing six dead and hurting seven other soldiers, the defence minister from Turkey has said, but proudly declared that 30 to 35 troops fighting for Assad were killed in retaliation.

The statement was also denied by Moscow officials.
