Mortar fire kills foreign medic in Syria: NGO

Mortar fire by pro-Ankara forces Sunday killed a Myanmar national working as a cameraman and medic for a non-governmental group in northeast Syria, the group said. Turkish troops and their Syrian proxies last month launched a cross-border attack against Kurdish fighters in northeastern Syria that has killed hundreds and caused tens of thousands to flee their homes. A ceasefire signed by Moscow and Ankara on October 22 has mostly stemmed the fighting, but sporadic clashes persist.
