Turkish- backed Syrian rebel fighters fire from the town of Salwah, less than 10 kilometres from the Syria- Turkey border, towards Kurdish forces from the People' s Protection Units (YPG) in the Afrin region, on February 19, 2018. Turkey' s foreign minister warned against any intervention by Syrian pro- government forces alongside Kurdish militias in northern Syria, saying it would not prevent Ankara from continuing its month- old offensive.
