The Turkish army hit 70 outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and Syrian Kurdish People’s Protection Unit (YPG) and 52 Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) targets in the past 24 hours as part of Operation Euphrates Shield in northern Syria, the military said on Oct. 22.

At least two ISIL militants were killed and a vehicle destroyed in an airstrike carried out by U.S.-led coalition forces, the Turkish General Staff said.

The statement said five Free Syrian Army (FSA) fighters were wounded during an opposition forces' offensive to retake two villages in the Mare district, northwest of Al-Bab.

The PYD, meanwhile, attacked FSA fighters in south of Jarabulus city, killing two people, the statement added.
