Turkey carried out an airstrike in northern Syria on Tuesday near its border killing at least 11 people, including Syrian government soldiers, an opposition war monitor and a Kurdish media outlet said.

The attack happened just west of the northern town of Kobane and comes amid tensions in northern Syria between US-backed Kurdish fighters and Turkey-backed opposition gunmen.
