<p>The Kurdish Hawar news agency said the attack on the road leading to the border town of Tal Abyad killed three people and left several others injured.</p>
<p>The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the Turkish air strike occurred when a convoy carrying a tribal leader reached the entrance of Tal Abyad. It said several people were injured but no-one was killed.</p>
<p>Turkish troops have been bombarding the town of Tal Abyad since the start of their ground offensive against Kurdish fighters on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said 109 “terrorists” have been killed since the launch of the offensive.</p>
<p>He insists the action is needed to prevent the creation of a “terror state” along Turkey’s border with Syria.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, two mortars fired from Syria injured two people when they landed in a Turkish town along the border.</p>
<p>Eyewitnesses said at least two government buildings were hit by the mortars in Akcakale.</p>
<p>Syrian Kurdish fighters have struck at least five different Turkish borders towns with dozens of mortars since Wednesday.</p>
<p>Earlier on Thursday, Turkey’s state-run news agency Anadolu said Turkey-allied Syrian opposition fighters had “cleared of terror” two villages across the border in Syria – meaning there are no more Syrian Kurdish fighters in those areas.</p>
<p>Major Youssef Hammoud, a spokesman for Turkey-backed Syrian rebels, had earlier tweeted they were in Yabisa, near the town of Tal Abyad, describing it as “the first village to win freedom”.</p>
<p>They later entered and “cleared” Tel Fander.</p>
<p>Mr Erdogan, meanwhile, has warned the EU not to call the operation an “invasion”, and renewed his threat to let Syrian refugees flood Europe.</p>
<p>He hit out after Finnish Prime Minister Antti Rinne, whose country currently holds the European Union’s rotating presidency, condemned the offensive and urged the cessation of hostilities.</p>
