Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has signalled a possible ground offensive in northern Syria and Iraq after Ankara’s forces launched cross-border air raids on what they said were locations used by Kurdish groups they blame for a bombing in central Istanbul.

The escalating tensions have prompted global concern, with Russia and the United States urging Ankara on Monday to show restraint.
