ANKARA, Aug. 28 (Xinhua) -- Turkish airstrikes killed 25 Kurdish militants in northern Syria on Sunday, Turkish General Staff stated.
The airstrikes were conducted after Turkish army and the Free Syrian Army (FSA) attacked by the Kurdish terrorists groups on Saturday night, the statement said.
According to the CNN Turk, one solider was killed and three others injured in the attack.
Turkish media reported earlier in the day that Turkish warplanes, artillery hit Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) targets in northern Syria on early Sunday morning.
Turkish warplanes hit and destroyed a YPG ammunition depot in Jarablus of northern Syria, military sources told local media.
Turkish warplanes had struck the YPG fighters near the Syrian town of Jarablus on Saturday.
The Turkish military, which has entered Jarablus as part of the Euphrates Shield operation to back Syrian rebels to sweep Islamic State (IS) militants off the border, hit the Syrian Kurdish militants by artillery fires on late Aug. 25.
The YPG, a part of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) alliance, has been a partner in the U.S.-led campaign against the IS in Syria.
Ankara has frequently voiced its concern over the YPG's activity along the Turkish border and has been rigid in its stance in not allowing the Democratic Union Party (PYD) militant group to found any kind of de facto Kurdish state in northern Syria.
Turkish government claims the PYD and its military wing YPG enjoy close connections with the PKK, including militant and ammunition support through underground tunnels.
