Tangled wreckage and debris strewn about in what appears to be the aftermath of a Syrian government air strike on the town of Ras al-Ain.<br/> <br />This amateur video which was posted to a social media website on Monday purports to show the moments immediately after the attack that killed several residents near the border with Turkey.<br/> <br />But Reuters can't independently verify the footage - and there's been no confirmation on the number of people killed or wounded.<br/> <br />Turkey scrambled fighter jets along its border on Monday following this and other attacks on rebel positions in the frontier town - and as reports emerged that stray shells had landed inside Turkish territory.<br/> <br />It wasn't immediately clear whether those shells were fired by forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad or by rebel fighters.<br/> <br />Almost a month ago, rebels took control of Ras al-Ain in fighting that triggered some of the biggest refugee movements into Turkey since violence began 20 months ago.<br/> <br />Activists say more than 40,000 people have been killed in Syria since March 2011.
