Kurds say Turkey using non-conventional weapons in strikes Syrian Democratic Forces says were used in strike on Ras al Ayn

(ANSAmed) - ISTANBUL, OCTOBER 17 - Mustafa Bali, head of communications for the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), said on Twitter that SDF suspects non-conventional weapons are being used against Kurdish fighters in the city of Serekaniye (Ras al Ayn in Arabic), under siege by Turkish forces.



Bali's claim was accompanied by a video clip from the Kurdish news agency in Syria, Hawar, from a hospital in the area showing some children being treated for serious burns and showing an interview with a local doctor. The authenticity of the video cannot be independently verified.



Bali referred to "news and signs" received "from the beseiged city" and called on "international organisations to send their teams to investigate the wounds suffered in the attacks".



"Medical structures in northeast Syria no longer have teams of experts following the withdrawal of NGOs due to the Turkish invasion," Bali said.(ANSAmed).
