"Our artillery retaliated" he added stating that three mortar shells from Syrian territory landed in a deserted area, without causing damages or injuries.
Turkey retaliates often with its artillery against mortar castings from opposing sides in the civil war in Syria. On March 23, the Turkish armed forces shot down a Syrian aircraft claiming that it had violated Turkish airspace.
