Turkish military says 38 Daesh terrorists 'neutralised' in air strikes, clashes

Turkish warplanes and artillery have struck Daesh targets in Syria, 'neutralising' 38 of the group's terrorists, Turkey's military said in a statement on Thursday.

In a round-up of its military operations over the last 24 hours in support of rebels in northern Syria, the army said air strikes by Turkish fighter jets on 28 Daesh targets destroyed shelters, command centres, weapons and vehicles.

The Turkish military operation, dubbed 'Euphrates Shield', was launched more than four months ago to drive Daesh terrorists away from the border region. In recent weeks, the forces have been besieging the town of al-Bab.
