Turkish warplanes killed 22 Islamic State (IS) terrorists in airstrikes on IS targets in Al-Bab, in northern Syria, in the last 24 hours, the Turkish General Staff said on Thursday.
Targets in the air raids included 160 positions belonging to terrorists, including defense positions, shelters and command facilities, the military said in a statement.
A total of 2,845 improvised explosive devices have been destroyed since last August, when Turkey launched the Euphrates Shield Operation against both IS and the Syrian Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG), the military wing of the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD).
Turkey regards the YPG and the PYD as terrorist organizations due to their links to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party.
