Turkey's presidential spokesman on Monday condemned the Syrian regime forces’ attack on Turkish soldiers in northwestern Syria, which left four soldiers martyred and nine others injured, APA reports citing Anadolu Agency.

"I wish Allah's mercy on our four soldiers who were martyred in Idlib in the regime forces' attack, condolences to their families and quick recovery to the wounded. This attack on the Idlib agreement was immediately retaliated," Ibrahim Kalin wrote on Twitter.

Kalin added that the perpetrators of the attack will pay the price.

Turkey’s communications director also condemned the attack and extended his condolences to the families of the martyrs.

Turkey will bring perpetrators to account for the “treacherous attack,” Fahrettin Altun wrote on Twitter.

At least four Turkish soldiers were martyred and nine others injured in intense shelling by the regime forces in northwestern Syria.
