FROM ONLY TODAY AND AS WE SPEAK TURKISH INCURSION INTO SYRIAN SOVEREIGN TERRITORY HAS GONE FROM BAD TO WORSE!

Thanks here to the tip from Freeper the original story as seen at the English tabloid The Daily Mail:

"Syrian and Turkish armies open fire on each other for the first time since Erdogan [tr]"

"Syrian and Turkish armies opened fire on each other today for the first time since Ankara began its incursion against the Kurds. Artillery and machine-gun fire was exchanged near the village of Assadiya, south of the border town of Ras al-Ain, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. Six Syrian soldiers were killed, according to the war monitor. President Bashar al-Assad had bolstered Kurdish strongholds in northern Syria after Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan began his offensive on October 9 to establish a 75-mile wide, 20-mile deep buffer zone."

Turkey a member of NATO. Turkey able to invoke Article Five of the NATO charter? All other constituent members of the alliance must now come to the aid of Turkey? I doubt that will happen but this is a potential escalation of hostilities without question. Russian mediation will be crucial in settling this dispute and further conflict. So we hope. Syria the situation can deteriorate and do so very rapidly.
