MOSCOW Authentic Fernando Torres Jersey , Jan. 7 (Xinhua) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin has condemned the attack on the headquarters of Paris-based satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, and pledged to further cooperation in fighting terrorism, the Kremlin said Wednesday.

"Putin expressed his deep condolences to French President Francois Hollande over the deadly terrorist attack on the office of the Charlie Hebdo magazine," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

Calling the attack a "cynical crime," Puin reaffirmed his readiness to continue cooperation in the fight against terror threat, he said.

The head of state also sent words of sympathy and support to the relatives and loved ones of those killed and wishes of swift recovery to those injured by the gunmen, Peskov added.

At least 12 people were killed in the shooting at the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo Wednesday morning, according to local reports. A few others were in critical conditions.

Charlie Hebdo, based in Paris' 11th arrondissement, was firebombed in 2011, after publishing a controversial series of cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammad.

- A drone rescued two swimmers off an Australian beach on Thursday, a world first for the fast-developing technology that seems perfectly suited to saving lives at sea, authorities said.

The rescue took place as life savers at Lennox Head, a beach popular with surfers south of the city of Brisbane, were preparing for a training session on using drones to pull swimmers to safety.

The practice turned into a real rescue when someone noticed that two men swimming outside safety flags were in trouble in a three-metre (10-foot) swell, the government said in a statement.

Lifeguards launched the drone, steered it towards the swimmers and dropped a ""rescue pod"" into the water, where it expanded so the swimmers could grab it and swim to shore.

""Never before has a drone fitted with a flotation device been used to rescue swimmers like this,"" said John Barilaro, the deputy premier of New South Wales state.

The rescue took just 70 seconds. The two swimmers were exhausted but unharmed.

Barilaro said the state government had invested A$430,000 (247,940 pounds) in a trial of drone technology in December.

Australia, most of whose 24 million live on the coast, had 291 drownings in the year to June 30, a small increase over the previous year but a decline on a per capita basis, according to the Royal Life Saving Society.

Forty people have drowned in the 201718 summer, down from 69 at the same time last year, the group said.

" " Turkish soldiers prepare their armored vehicles near the Syrian-Turkish border at Reyhanli district in Hatay, Turkey, on Jan. 21, 2018. Turkish ground troops entered Syria's Afrin Sunday on the second day of an offensive against U.S-backed Kurdish militia which should be wrapped up soon, said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. (Xinhua)

DAMASCUS, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) -- At least 18 civilians have been killed in the Turkish military campaign against Syria's Kurdish-held Afrin enclave in northern Syria, a monitor group reported Sunday.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the deaths occurred in Afrin and surrounding villages, as Turkey started its offensive on Saturday by airstrikes and shelling and commenced its ground incursion on Sunday to drive out the Kurdish forces from border areas between Syria and Turkey.

Kurdish activists said 11 civilians, including six children and women, were killed and 16 others wounded on Sunday in Afrin by the Turkish fire.

The Kurdish People's Protection Units, or YPG, said four of its fighters were killed as well as 10 fighters of the Turkey-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) since Saturday when the Turkish-backed forces attempted to storm several border villages of Afrin.

An official in the YPG, Mahmoud Bardakhan, declared on Sunday the beginning of a ""revolutionary campaign against the Turkish enemy"" and FSA, which is involved in the Turkish campaign against Afrin.

Kurdish activists said the Kurdish fighters took several FSA fighters as captives during the military showdown in Afrin.

Meanwhile, Kurdish activists said Intense battles raged between the YPG and the Turkish army on the outskirts of the Adama town in the countryside of Afrin after the attempt of the Turkish army to advance int the town.

For his part, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said Sunday that the ""Turkish aggression on Afrin cannot be separated from the Turkish policies undertaken since the first day of the Syrian crisis to support terrorism and the terrorist groups in Syria.""

Earlier in the day, Ankara said it had begun the ground incursion into Afrin, a day after intense shelling and airstrikes that marked the beginning of the Turkish campaign against the Kurdish fighters in Syria.

Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan pledged on Sunday that the military campaign in Afrin would be over in a ""short time,"" describing the military campaign as a ""national struggle.""

Turkey's military operation in Afrin aims to deal a strong blow to the Kurdish fighters and weaken their growing influence in northern Syria near Turkey.

The operation came particularly after the Kurdish forces defeated the Islamic State in Syria's northern province of Raqqa, and when the U.S. is forming 30,000-strong border forces from the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and other Kurdish fighters in northern Syria.
