Three Turkish soldiers were killed and another 11 were wounded on Dec. 21 during clashes with Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militants in Syria’s al-Bab, Hurriyet Daily News reported.
The military said one of the wounded soldiers was in critical condition.
It added that clashes with militants in the region were ongoing.
On Aug. 24, the Turkish Armed Forces launched the Euphrates Shield Operation against both ISIL and the Syrian Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), the military wing of the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD).
Turkey regards the YPG and the PYD as terrorist organizations due to their links to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
