The Jarablus Military Council, a group linked to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) who also aim to liberate Jarablus from Islamic State control, accused Turkey of "deliberately" targeting Kurdish neighbourhoods in Jarablus with air strikes and mortar fire overnight on Wednesday.
“This morning jet fighters started their aerial attack," said Jarablus Military Council Deputy Commander Armanc Cerablus, according to the Firat News Agency, a news agency linked to the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).
"60 percent of the city has been turned to ruins. We are just 2 km away from the city and we can see with the naked eye: They are targeting Kurdish neighborhoods deliberately."
