Turkish jets destroyed 157 Daesh targets on Tuesday in northern Syria as part of Operation Euphrates Shield.

The Turkish Armed Forces said in a statement the targets included shelters, defensive positions, as well as command-and-control facilities.

In addition, 28 targets in the Al-Bab and Bzagah regions were hit by Turkish warplanes.

Among the targets were six shelters, two ammunition stores, three checkpoints, two bomb vehicle production plants, three garages for armed vehicles and several gun emplacements.

Tuesday marks the 112th day of the operation, which began in late August to improve security, support coalition forces and eliminate the terror threat along Turkey’s border using Free Syrian Army fighters backed by Turkish armor, artillery, and jets.
