Turkish Army

Kurdish sources have said that the Turkish army shelled a district in the city of Nusaybin, southern Turkey, using munitions which were likely to have contained phosphorus. The Turkish army used munitions containing phosphorus against the Kurdish-inhabited city of Nusaybin in the country’s south, one Kurdish source told Sputnik on Sunday: Nusaybin is located in the Mardin province, where two Turkish servicemen were killed during a raid against the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), outlawed in the country, earlier in the day.
