Turkey's military, backing Syrian rebels in a four-month-old operation against ISIS militants in northern Syria, said on Tuesday that 18 of the jihadists had been killed and 37 wounded in clashes and artillery fire on Monday.

In a round-up of its operations over the past 24 hours, the army said its warplanes destroyed four ISIS targets and Russian aircraft hit jihadists in Dayr Kak, 8 km southwest of the Islamic State-controlled town of al-Bab, Reuters reports.
