A police officer has died and at least 10 other people have been injured after gunfire broke out on Syria's border with Turkey, officials say.
The violence started on Thursday as Syrians trying to cross into the neighbouring country opened fire across the border towards the Turkish guards. An entry post was also set on fire during the clash.
Abdulhakim Ayhan, mayor of the border town of Akcakale, said shots were fired when Turkish authorities issued warnings to a large group of Syrians trying to cross illegally.
