Turkey scrambles F-16 jets on Syria border
Turkey has scrambled six F-16 fighters jets near its border with Syria after Syrian helicopters came close to the border, the country's army says.
Last month, Syrian forces shot down a Turkish jet in the border area - further straining already tense relations between the former allies.
The BBC's James Reynolds describes the scene at the Turkey-Syria border.
