The Turkish army hit 94 Daesh and nine PKK/PYD targets in northern Syria early Thursday, the military said.
 
Thursday's strikes were part of Turkey's Operation Euphrates Shield launched in late August to clear the northern Syrian border area of terrorists. It is now in its 65th day.
 
Operation Euphrates Shield has seen both Daesh and PKK/PYD terrorist groups targeted by the opposition Free Syrian Army plus Turkish tanks, artillery and aircraft.
 
The PKK and its Syrian offshoot, the PYD, are both listed as terrorist groups by Turkey although the U.S. and EU only view the PKK as a terrorist organization.
 
Turkish military sources said opposition forces managed to take control of the Jabal Khirbat al-Kanisah area, northwest of Aleppo.
 
Two opposition fighters were killed and 16 others were injured.
