ANKARA: Turkey hit 59 Daesh targets and killed 51 militants in northern Syria as part of its ongoing incursion, the Turkish military said on Saturday.
Turkish forces have surrounded the Daesh-controlled town of Al-Bab for weeks as part of an operation that has been going on for more than five months.
Four of those killed were so-called emirs, or local commanders, the Turkish military said, adding that its jets destroyed 56 buildings and three command control centers in the Al-Bab and Bzagah regions.
Coalition forces also conducted eight airstrikes in the Al-Bab region, destroying two defense positions and two armed vehicles.
