"According to the last information that we have got from various sources, 63 Syrian regime troops have been neutralized," the statement said.

12 Turkish military personnel and 1 civilian contractor were killed by Syrian army artillery fire in this month.

Turkish army responded to the attacks, hitting Syrian government targets in Idlib.

Last week, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan warned Syrian regime to pull back behind Turkish observation post lines by the end of February or face consequences. (ILKHA)
