Kurdish-led SDF repells Turkish ground attack in Syrian town - spokesman

[Jpost] The Kurdish-led force in northeast Syria said it confronted a ground attack by ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish troops who launched a cross-border operation against it on Wednesday.

"Ground attack by ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish forces has been repelled by SDF fighters in (Tel Abyad town)...No advance as of now," Mustafa Bali, front man for the Syrian Democratic Forces, said on Twitter.

The Turkish army shelled the town of Kobani in northern Syria, SDF spokesman Mustafa Bali said in a tweet.

Still more:

The Kurdish-led force in northeast Syria said Turkish bombing of the border region killed five civilians and injured dozens more on Wednesday. The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) also said three of its fighters were killed.

#1 there is a good chance that this incursion (or invasion) will not only result in a bloody nose for Turkey and many deaths for Turkey's mercenaries (who are ill paid and ill led) but it may even result in a surge of support for internationally backed Kurdish autonomy (probably not independence though, that is quite a ways away)
