Rabat – Turkey’s military said three of its soldiers were killed early Thursday in Syria in a deadly airstrike.
The strike also wounded 10 Turkish soldiers, the general staff in Ankara said in a statement.
The alleged airstrike comes as Syrian rebels backed by Turkish forces expanded their control in northern Syria to a 700-square-mile area and advanced on the town of al-Bab, which sits just 25 miles east of Aleppo.
Turkey launched its military offensive inside Syria on Aug. 24, seeking to oust Islamic State from a 60-mile stretch of its border days after blaming the extremist group for a deadly bombing in the border city of Gaziantep.
