Idlib: Turkish troops killed in Syrian airstrike
Russia, who are supporting Syria, denies any involvement.
Russia says the troops killed were among rebel formations and should not have been there. The defence ministry said that "exhaustive measures" were taken to stop Syrian fire once it was known Turkish forces were threatened. Turkey has been striking back and has called an emergency meeting of the NATO alliance.
