Missile strikes in northern Syria near the Turkish border on Friday killed one person and injured at least eleven others, Reuters reported, citing Turkish state media and a source from the Turkish-backed faction that controls the region.

Explosions rocked local oil refineries near the towns of al-Bab and Jarablus, sparking large fires, according to the report.

A source in the National Army, which controls swathes of northwest Syria where Turkish troops have a presence, said missile strikes had caused the blasts, wounding eleven people.

It remains unclear who carried out the strikes.
