The assistant head of the Syrian Turkmenistan Movement said that the clashes between the Turkish army and Daesh elements erupted after Turkish border guards refused allowing an injured Daesh elements into a Turkish hospital close to the Syrian borders.

The clashes left one officer dead and two others injured, he noted.

The denial angered Daesh elements deployed in Syrian villages near the border with Turkey, the official underlined, adding that more clashes might erupt due to similar reasons.

The clashes are still going on between Daesh militants and the Turkish army along the Syrian-Turkish border, according to well-placed sources.
