It was reported on Monday that 89 targets were destroyed during the airstrikes on Syria and Iraq - many PKK leaders were eliminated, according to Yeni Safak. The air operation, according to the newspaper, can be read as the first step toward a potential land operation in Syria. 

On Sunday, the Turkish army shelled several villages in the northern countryside of Aleppo and fired missile barrages at the positions of the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the Al-Malikiyah area, north of Al-Hasakah, and Ain Issa area, north of Al-Raqqa.

Turkish media reported that a Turkish soldier was killed and two others were wounded as a result of shelling that targeted a border crossing in Kilis Governorate on the Syrian border, and missiles targeted a Turkish base near Bab Al-Salamah crossing inside Turkish territory.
