A military graveyard of sorts here in the Syrian city of Azaz.<br/> <br />Destroyed tanks and burned out armoured personnel carriers dot the town near the border with Turkey.<br/> <br />The tanks and APCs, surrounded by heaps of stone and cement, are what remain after recent fighting between government forces and the Free Syrian Army.<br/> <br />Now soldiers loyal to Assad have moved out, and rebels have seized the city.<br/> <br />Azaz is home to about 75,000 people -- although most residents fled as the violence escalated.<br/> <br />Turkey has closed its border with Syria to commercial traffic due to worsening security conditions, but will keep crossings open to refugees fleeing the conflict.<br/> <br />Travis Brecher, Reuters
