Turkish state media is reporting the Turkish military killed as many as 200 Syrian Kurdish fighters Wednesday night, although this figure is being disputed by the Syrian Kurdish forces. The Syrian Kurdish fighters, known as the YPG, were killed after Turkish jets attacked their bases north of Aleppo. A YPG leader says only 10 Syrian Kurdish fighters were killed in the attacks. The United States is militarily backing both Turkey and the Syrian Kurds.
