Turkish defense ministry: Turkish soldier killed and two wounded in Idlib countryside

IDLIB, Syria (North Press) – The Turkish Ministry of Defense announced that one of its soldiers was killed and two others were wounded in an attack on an armored ambulance in Idlib on Friday.

"Turkish forces identified targets in the area, and fired on them in response to the attack,” the ministry said.

The statement did not mention who was responsible for the attack on the car carrying members of its forces, nor did it specify the location where the attack took place.

A landmine exploded near a convoy of Turkish forces on the Aleppo-Latakia M4 Highway, near the village of al-Ghassaniyeh in Jisr al-Shughour countryside, wounding members of Turkish forces and armed opposition groups accompanying them at the end of last month.

“A Turkish soldier was killed in Idlib, northwestern Syria, as a result of an explosion on the M4 highway on the same day,” The Turkish Ministry of Defense said in a statement.
