ISTANBUL, Feb 20 (Reuters) - A powerful explosion tore through a Syrian border post on the frontier with Turkey on Thursday and ambulances were ferrying the wounded to the southern Turkish city of Kilis, officials and local sources said.
A Turkish border official said the explosion near Turkey's Oncupinar border post, which sits opposite the Syrian Bab al-Salameh gate, could be felt several kilometres away.
