Turkish forces hit 54 targets in Syria’s northwestern region of Idlib and "neutralized" 76 Syrian government soldiers, Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said.
Akar said Turkey’s armed forces had taken “all forms of measures” in Idlib, adding that Ankara had informed Moscow, which backs Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Anadolu Agency reported.
On Monday, Ankara said Syrian shelling had killed five of its soldiers in Idlib. Later, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey was retaliating.
