The Turkish ministry has responded with artillery fire after a Syrian shell landed about 200m inside Turkey near a border village where 5 civilians were killed on Wednesday. Our correspondent James Reynolds visited Akcakale where the blast took place.
对落于其境内200米处的一枚叙利亚炮弹事件,土尔其给予炮火反击。周三炮弹落于土叙边境的一个村庄附近,炸死5个平民。通讯员James Reynolds去了爆炸发生现场Akcakale。
We’ve got a pattern in the last few days,5 straight days in a row. There’ve been mortars landing from Syria, of course one on Wednesday killed a family of 5. Since then they’ve landed in waste land or outside villages. But turkey decided that no matter irresponsible of its own artillery fire, that seemed to be the pattern of the mode. Motors coming on way artillery fire the other way. It doesn’t seem to be escalating beyond that, but I can’t stay in the town of Akcakale. There is extreme amount of tension and anger. I saw a Turkish armed vehicle facing the Syrian border. There were armed police chief driving around the town. To those people in that town in Turkey, this does fell like a frontline.
我们在过去的连续5天内感受到了一种态势。叙利亚开来了许多迫击炮,并于周三造成一家五口死亡,此后,他们开进荒地或村庄外围。但是,土尔其决定不论自己的炮火会造成怎样的伤亡,这也他们必须采取的立场。叙利亚迫击炮这边开来,土耳其的炮火那边发来。战斗似乎不会升级,但是我不能再呆在Akcakale镇了,这里处处是压抑和怒火。可以看到,在两国边境炮口朝向叙利亚的土尔其装甲军。在镇上,武装警官绕镇驾车巡逻。不过,对于土尔其Akcakale镇上的人们来说,并没有战争前线的感觉。
