One Turkish soldier was killed and five others wounded on Monday in a car bomb attack in the al-Bab region in northern Syria during an operation against the Islamic State (IS) group and Syrian Kurdish militants, the Turkish military said.
The Turkish General Staff said in a statement that Turkish warplanes destroyed a total of 52 targets belonging to the IS in the al-Bab region on Monday.
It added that 11 IS militants were "neutralized" in the clashes, according to Hurriyet News.
Turkish authorities often use the word "neutralized" to refer to militants who have been captured or killed.
On Aug. 24, the Turkish Armed Forces launched the Euphrates Shield Operation against both the 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 (PKK).
