A total of 2,821 improvised explosive devices and 43 mines have been destroyed by the Turkish Explosive Ordinance disposal teams since the beginning of the operation on last Aug.24, the military added.
The Turkish Armed Forces launched the Euphrates Shield Operation last August against both IS and the Syrian Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG), the military wing of the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD).
Turkey regards the YPG and the PYD as terrorist organizations due to their links to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
