One Turkish soldier martyred during Syrian operation

One Turkish soldier was martyred and five more were lightly wounded in clashes with Daesh terrorists in northern Syria, the Turkish military said on Friday.

In addition, four Turkey-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) were also martyred and 25 injured in the clashes over the last 24 hours, the military said in a statement.

On Thursday, three Turkish soldiers were martyred in what the military said was a regime air strike, the first such deaths at the hands of Syrian regime forces since Ankara launched a cross-border incursion into Syria in August.

Turkey said it would retaliate against the attacks.
