Turkish army opened fire on People's Defense Units (YPG) fighters in the Susike village, 10 km away from the Tal Abyad (Girê Spî) city bordering Turkey, on Thursday.

According to the reports received from YPG sources, units of the Turkish army deployed on the ‘Ceman Beg’hill on Turkey's side have launched an attack targeting YPG forces in the Susikê village at noontime.

Two fighters of the YPG have been killed in the attack which was reportedly carried out by snipers.

The Turkish attack came after the eruption of fierce clashes between YPG and al-Qaeda affiliated Islamist gang groups which launched artillery attacks against the Susikê village at around 5 a.m. on Thursday.

Six Turkish ambulances have reportedly rushed the casualties of gang members to Turkish hospitals in the morning.
