ANKARA, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- Turkish jets on Sunday night destroyed some 17 Islamic State (IS) targets near Al-Bab in northern Syria under the Euphrates Shield operation, Anadolu Agency reported.
Turkish Air Force hit at least two IS-occupied buildings in Al-Bab region with 16 bombs, and 17 IS targets were destroyed by the attack.
Meanwhile, two Turkish soldiers were wounded in a IS attack in northern Syria on the same day.
The soldiers were wounded when IS bombed an area near the city of Al-Bab, north of Aleppo, where Turkish troops are located.
The wounded were taken to a hospital in Turkey's border province of Gaziantep, according to hospital sources.
On Saturday, one Turkish soldier was killed in a similar IS attack to Turkish troops.
The Turkish-backed Free Syrian Army has been fighting around the Al-Bab and Al-Rai regions as part of Operation Euphrates Shield, which was launched in late August to rid the northern Syrian border area of terrorists.
