Turkey denies targeting civilian infrastructure during its offensive,
which has left hundreds of thousands residents of Afrin displaced.
More than 200,000 civilians have fled the city of Afrin in northern Syria since Wednesday
evening to escape a Turkish-led military offensive against a Kurdish militia, a war monitor said.
"There was fierce fighting throughout the night on the northern outskirts of the city as the Turkish forces and
their Syrian allies tried to break into the city," the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Saturday.
Turkey and its Syrian Arab rebel allies, who are also fighting brutal dictator Bashar al-Assad, have waged a
nearly two-month offensive on the Afrin enclave, which is held by the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG).
The Syrian regime has sided with the YPG against Turkey's offensive in Afrin.
