Two Turkish soldiers were killed and two wounded in northern Syria on Saturday.
The troops were in an armored vehicle, on its way to a Turkish base, near Al-Bab in Aleppo Province.
The Defense Ministry said Turkish forces launched retaliatory fire at “terrorists”. The Ministry did not attribute responsibility to any faction.
However, a pro-opposition activist said Turkish forces fired artillery at an area, south of Azaz, held by the US-supported, Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces.
