Turkish warplanes kill 51 Daesh militants in Syria

ANKARA: Turkish warplanes killed 51 Daesh militants in operations over the last 24 hours, the military said in a statement on Thursday.

Warplanes destroyed 85 Daesh targets in the areas of Al-Bab, Tadif, Kabbasin and Bzagah, including buildings



and vehicles.

Turkey launched an operation, dubbed “Euphrates Shield,” to drive jihadists away from the Syrian border more than five months ago and has been besieging the Daesh controlled town of Al-Bab for weeks.
