Ankara: Thirteen ISIS militants were killed in northern Syria over the last 24 hours as part of Operation Euphrates Shield, the Turkish military said Tuesday.

In a statement, Turkish General Staff said that its armed forces also hit 107 ISIS positions in northern Syria on the 154th day of the operation, Turkey's Anadolu Agency (AA) reported.

Turkish jets hit nine ISIS targets in the Al-Bab region, the military added. 

Coalition forces also conducted five airstrikes against ISIS targets, destroying an ammunition support vehicle, two mortars and a building, the statement added. 

Operation Euphrates Shield began in late August to tighten border security, eliminate the terror threat along Turkish borders.
