Turkish soldier killed in northern Syria
One Turkish soldier was killed and three others wounded in clashes Sunday with Islamic State (IS) jihadists in Syria’s Al-Bab region, local media reported, citing military sources.
Turkish troops and their Syrian rebel allies on Saturday entered Al-Bab to drive IS jihadists from the flashpoint northern town, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The Turkish army launched an ambitious campaign inside Syria on August 24 codenamed Euphrates Shield to clean its border from IS jihadists and stop the advance of Kurdish militia.
