Several Turkish F-16 warplanes took
off from base in southeastern Diyarbakir after large explosion close to
Syrian border, local media reported on Sunday.
Turkey’s Sabah newspaper reported that the warplanes were headed toward Syrian border, according to Bloomberg news agency.
Meanwhile,
the state hospital in border town of Reyhanli alerted to receive
possible casualties from Syria following explosion, Milliyet newspaper
reported, adding that a missile allegedly landed near Syrian village of
Sarmade.
Earlier
this week, Turkey beefed up a military presence along its southern
border with Syria in anticipation of US-led strikes on the regime in
Damascus, AFP news agency reported, citing local media.
A
20-vehicle convoy with a tank contingent was deployed to the border
area of Yayladagi in Hatay province on Wednesday, and was followed by 15
more vehicles Thursday, Turkish news agency Dogan reported.
Syria's
northwestern border with Turkey is one of the few areas on the frontier
still in the hands of President Bashar al-Assad, according to the
agency.
Meanwhile,
state-run news agency Anatolia said an already enlarged troop presence
on the southern border would also be reinforced.
