The Turkish military on Thursday exchanged fire with Daesh (IS) militants across the Syrian border after a Turkish soldier was killed by fire from an area controlled by the jihadists.
The non-commissioned officer was killed in the Turkish border region of Kilis, the state Anatolia news agency said, three days after a suicide bombing blamed on Daesh jihadists killed 32 people.
Anatolia said the fire came from an area controlled by Daesh in Syria. The Dogan news agency said four soldiers had been wounded.
Turkish tanks from the fifth armoured brigade then responded by opening fire on targets controlled by IS jihadists in Syria, NTV television said, adding that one Daesh militant had also been killed.
The clashes are among the most serious yet between the Turkish army and Daesh, which has seized swathes of Iraq and Syria right up to the Turkish border.
