The State Department expressed its concern while calling for a de-escalation of tensions in northern Syria.
In a statement late Wednesday night, State Department spokesman Ned Price said that "the United States urges an immediate de-escalation in northern Syria."
"We are deeply concerned about recent military action that destabilizes the region, threatens our shared goal of fighting ISIS, and endangers U.S. citizens and personnel," Price added.
He also stressed that the US understands Turkey's legitimate security concerns regarding terrorism.
"At the same time, we have consistently communicated our serious concerns about the impact of the escalation in Syria on our D-ISIS targets and civilians on both sides of the border," the spokesman said while expressing condolences for the loss of civilians in Syria and Turkey.
