  • Story Text: Turkish army released video of its fighter jets on combat duty as part of Turkey's military operation into northern Syria on Thursday (October 10).
    Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said 109 militants had been killed so far in the two days of fighting, while Kurds said they were resisting the assault.
    According to a senior Turkish security official, armed forces struck weapons and ammunition depots, gun and sniper positions, tunnels and military bases.
    Jets conducted operations up to 30 km (18 miles) into Syria, and a Reuters witness saw shells exploding just outside the town of Tel Abyad.
