Turkish firefighters head to the border to battle forest fires spilling over from neighboring Syria.

They're trying to extinguish a massive fire close to this refugee camp in Turkey's Hatay province. Syrian refugees are now being moved to another camp along the border.

Many are fleeing heavy shelling in Aleppo Province.

Relations between Ankara and Damascus hit a new low after Syria shot down a Turkish plane over the Mediterreanean in late June.

On Wednesday,the Syrian military said it has found the bodies of the F4's two pilots and are in the process of trying to retrieve them from the seabed, where the plane's wreckage ended up.
