Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) has said that 44 Daesh terrorists were neutralized and 253 terrorist targets destroyed in al-Bab on the 170th day of the Euphrates Shield Operation.
The operation was conceived and is being conducted in support of Free Syrian Army (FSA) fighters.
The Turkish-led operation, aided by the FSA, was launched in late August to improve security, support coalition forces and eliminate the threat of terror along the Turkish-Syrian border.
Operation Euphrates Shield has cleared a total of 227 residential areas and 1,875 square kilometers of land along northern Syria's Azaz-Jarabulus corridor, which runs parallel the Turkish border.
Since the operation's launch, 3,719 handmade explosives and 57 mines have been neutralized under controlled conditions.
