The Turkish armed forces have carried out 61 artillery strikes around the northern Syrian town of Jarabulus in the past 24 hours, hitting 20 targets, Turkey's military said on Monday.



The military said in a statement it was "taking all measures and showing maximum sensitivity" to prevent harm to the civilians in Syria.



The Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) and air forces of the U.S.-led anti-Daesh coalition initiated the operation named "Euphrates Shield" against the terror group on Wednesday.



The operation is on its sixth day, as more villages are being liberated from both the Daesh and the PKK/PYD terrorists.
