As clashes between jihadists and Syrian Kurds continue to rage in the border town of Kobane and tensions simmer inside Turkey over the issue, more than a dozen tanks have been sent from the country’s western provinces to its southeast.

A military convoy including 15 tanks on trucks started moving east on Oct. 10, using the Trans-European Motorway (TEM) under high security.

The military convoy was photographed causing an incongrous scene by stopping in front of a shopping mall in the northern province of Bolu, Doğan News Agency reported.
