The Turkish Armed Forces has said that 23 Daesh terrorists were neutralized in the ongoing Euphrates Shield operation that is being conducted to sweep the Daesh and Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK)- affiliated terrorists in northern Syria with the support of Turkey.

As many as 12 buildings of the terrorist organization in al-Bab, Suflaniyah, Kabr Al Mukri, Bzagah, Tadif and Abu Jabbar were destroyed by Turkish warplanes, according to the military.
