“To date, 326 terrorists have been eliminated as a result of Operation Claw-Sword,” TASS quoted him as saying.
According to him, the military operation continues from the air with fire support from the ground.
The minister also denied allegations that the Turkish army hit a US observation post in northern Syria.
Earlier, the Pentagon said that Turkey's operation in northern Syria poses potential risks for the US military contingent in the region.
The decision to carry out the operation by Turkey followed the terrorist attack in Istanbul, where six people were killed in an explosion on one of the central streets.
