It says that 25 “terrorist members” of the Turkey-based Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the Syrian Democratic Union Party (PYD) had been killed in the strikes in the area of the Syrian town of Jarabulus and five buildings used by them destroyed, according to the state run Anadolu news agency.
A monitor said earlier that Turkish shelling and airstrikes killed at least 35 Syrians, in the first reported civilian casualties in Turkey’s intensifying campaign in northern Syria.
The army said it was doing everything to avoid civilian casualties.
