A U.S. military outpost in northern Syria came under Turkish artillery fire late Friday — a day after Defense Secretary Mark Esper warned Turkey to protect U.S.
military personnel in its offensive against Kurdish fighters.
The incident comes as the Turkish military launches air and artillery strikes across the border in an operation the United States strongly opposes. In a call with Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar yesterday, Esper “reiterated his strong concern that, despite U.S. force protection measures, Turkey's actions could harm U.S. personnel in Syria,” Pentagon spokesperson Jonathan Hoffman said in a statement earlier Friday.
