Turkey hits ISIL and PYD targets in Syria

Turkey hit 162 ISIL and 12 PKK/PYD targets on Saturday as part of the Euphrates Shield operation in northern Syria, Anadolu reports.

The Turkish General Staff said in a statement that a terrorist was injured in two airstrikes carried out by US-led coalition forces in the Maaret al-Numan region.

Turkey's Operation Euphrates Shield was launched in late August to clear Syria's northern border area of terrorists on August 24.

The operation targets ISIL and PKK/PYD terrorists and is jointly carried out by the Turkey army and the Turkey-backed FSA.
