The Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) hit 93 Daesh targets in Syria on Monday, including command-and-control centers and shelters, according to a statement released yesterday. Turkey's military confirmed that one Free Syrian Army (FSA) fighter was injured in fighting on Monday. FSA special task force soldiers, backed by Turkey, continued land-based attacks to control east and west of the city of al-Bab.

The moves are part of Operation Euphrates Shield, which began in late August to rid Syria's northern border area of terrorists. Tuesday marks the 91st day of the operation. Over 215 residential areas, including more than 1,800 square kilometers (694 square miles) of land in northern Syria, have been cleared of Daesh terrorists as part of the operation so far.

The army statement on Tuesday also said a total of 40 mines and 1,673 improvised explosives had been defused since the start of the operation on Aug. 24.
