Turkey scrambled two fighter jets on Friday after a Syrian helicopter shelled the Syrian border town of Azmarin, which had been seized by anti-regime rebel forces. The region is strongly opposed to President Bashar al-Assad’s rule.
Turkey scrambled two fighter planes to the border with Syria on Friday after a Syrian military helicopter bombed the Syrian border town of Azmarin, a Reuters witness said.
There has been intense fighting between rebels and Syrian government forces this week in Azmarin and neighbouring towns, an area strongly opposed to President Bashar al-Assad’s rule.
REGIME'S BLOODIEST DAY
At least 92 soldiers loyal to the Bashar al-Assad regime were killed on Thursday, making it one of the highest casualty counts on the government side since the uprising broke out in March 2011.
Shells fired onto the town from surrounding hills sent thick plumes of smoke and dust rising into the air during fighting on Thursday and a voice amplified through loudspeakers, audible from the village of Hacipasa in Turkey’s Hatay province, called on rebel fighters to surrender, warning of an air assault.
Fighting along Turkey’s 900-km (560-mile) border with Syria has repeatedly spilled over into Turkish territory in the past week, with the Turkish army responding in kind to gunfire and mortar shells fired from Syria.
Turkish Chief of Staff General Necdet Ozel said on Wednesday his troops would respond “with greater force” if the shells continued to land on Turkish soil, and parliament last week authorised the deployment of troops beyond Turkey, heightening fears that Syria’s civil war would drag in regional powers.

No weapons on Syrian plane Turkey intercepted: Russia
MOSCOW | Fri Oct 12, 2012 12:21pm EDT
(Reuters) - Russia said on Friday that no weapons were aboard a Syrian civilian jet grounded by Turkish authorities on Wednesday and the plane had been carrying a legal shipment of radar equipment.
"We have no secrets." Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in a statement provided to Reuters by Russian state television.
"There were, of course, no weapons on the plane and could not have been any. There was a cargo on the plane that a legal Russian supplier was sending in a legal way to a legal customer," he told Russian state television.
Turkey's prime minister said on Thursday that the plane forced to land in Ankara en route from Moscow to Damascus on Wednesday, and later released, had been carrying Russian-made munitions destined for Syria's armed forces.
Syria's military and allied militia have killed thousands of civilians during a 19-month-old uprising that began with pro-democracy protests.
Lavrov said the cargo in question was "electro-technical equipment for a radar station", adding that it was of dual military-civilian use but was "not prohibited by international conventions".
"Shipping such a cargo on civilian aircraft is an absolutely normal practice," he said.
Lavrov said the supplier, which he did not name, would demand the return of the equipment "which is its property".
He said Russia was awaiting an official explanation of why Russian citizens aboard the plane were not given access to Russian diplomats while the aircraft was being held in Ankara. It later flew on to Damascus but the cargo was confiscated.
Lavrov said that Turkish authorities had contacted the pilot before the plane entered Turkish airspace and proposed that he change course or land in Ankara.
Russia has drawn Western condemnation for vetoing, along with China, three U.N. Security Council resolutions aimed to pressure Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to end the bloodshed.
Lavrov said in June that Russia, a longtime supplier of arms to Assad's government, is not delivering offensive weapons to Syria, and President Vladimir Putin said it is delivering no weapons that could be used in a civil conflict.
