In a statement published by the official SANA news agency Saturday, it blamed Turkey for committing crimes against the Syrians by firing artillery shells at areas in the northern province of Aleppo, AP reports.

It added that a number of civilians were injured by the artillery fire that targeted Tel Rifaat, Malikiyeh and other towns.

Turkey has in the past week kept up a cross-border artillery shelling campaign against the Syrian Kurdish militia positions in Syria. It has also threatened ground action, saying it was exercising its right to self-defense and responding to fire from Syrian soil.

The main Kurdish group in Syria has denied firing at Turkey from Syria.
