ANKARA (AA) - One Turkish soldier was martyred during the ongoing Operation Euphrates Shield in northern Syria's Al-Bab, according to the Turkish military Saturday.
In a written statement, the Turkish General Staff said clashes between Turkish troops and Daesh terrorist organization also left another soldier wounded.
Earlier Saturday, the military released a statement and said a total of 223 Daesh terrorists were "neutralized" in northern Syria as part of Turkish-backed Operation Euphrates Shield over the past week.
Turkish authorities use the word "neutralized" in their statements to imply the terrorists in question either surrendered, were captured or killed.
The Turkish army is supporting Free Syrian Army fighters in liberating Al-Bab, a strategic city for Daesh, from the terrorist group.
Operation Euphrates Shield began in late August to tighten border security, eliminate terror threat along Turkish borders and support opposition forces in Syria.
