Turkish artillery has fired on
positions inside Syria after shells from Syria killed five people in a southern
Turkish border town.
A woman and her three children were among those killed earlier when the
shells, apparently fired by Syrian government forces, hit Akcakale.
Turkey's response marks the first time it has fired into Syria during the
18-month-long uprising against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Nato ambassadors discussed the crisis.
The military alliance issued a statement saying it "continues to stand by
(Nato member) Turkey and demands the immediate cessation of such aggressive acts
against an ally, and urges the Syrian regime to put an end to flagrant
violations of international law"...
