The security source said the attack came from an area where Turkish troops are deployed and that the wounded were treated in a hospital in a nearby area controlled by Kurdish forces. The Russian Defense Ministry didn’t immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. To read the original story by Reuters, click here.
