A bomb blast at a Syria-Turkey border crossing killed at least 25 Turkish-backed opposition fighters and wounded dozens more today, witnesses and a monitoring group reported.
The blast took place on the Syrian side of the Atmeh crossing, west of Aleppo. A photo sent by a witness in the area, purportedly of its aftermath, showed the bloodied corpses lying on the ground.
Most of the rebels were from a group called Failaq Al-Sham, witnesses said. Turkey is backing the opposition in an offensive against Daesh further to the northeast, along a separate stretch of border.
The rebels use the Atmeh crossing to move between Idlib province, through Turkey, to areas of Aleppo province along the border where the fight against Daesh is taking place, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
