DAMASCUS, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- Unknown armed men opened fire on Turkish soldiers in Syria's northwestern province of Idlib on Sunday, wounding two soldiers, a war monitor reported.

One of the wounded soldiers is in critical condition by the shooting that occurred in the vicinity of Ariha city in the southern countryside of Idlib, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

It is the latest attack to target Turkish soldiers in northern Syria.

An armed group called Khattab al-Shishani Brigades claimed responsibility for previous attacks, said the observatory, adding that details about the group are still murky with no information on its alliances with any other rebel groups in northern Syria. Enditem
