It's the largest death toll for Turkey in a single day since it entered the conflict in 2016. 9News

Meanwhile Turkish Foreign Minister Mevult Cavusoglu spoke to NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg by telephone.

The airstrike came after a Russian delegation spent two days in Ankara for talks with Turkish officials on the situation in Idlib, where a Syrian government offensive has sent hundreds of thousands of civilians fleeing towards the Turkish border.

The incident came as a senior Turkish official told Reuters the government would no longer stop Syrian refugees reaching Europe. Turkey hosts about 3.7 million Syrian refugees. Under a 2016 deal, the European Union has provided billions of euros in aid in return for Ankara agreeing to stem the influx of migrants into Europe.
