Not less than 25 persons were killed on Sunday in air strikes by the Turkish military, near the border city of Jarablus in Syria.
Turkey has continued to target Kurdish-held areas in Syria, and its military confirmed that those killed were the militants in the areas.
The strikes are sequel to the kick off of Turkey's military operation to target the purported Islamic State (IS) militants and Kurdish militia in Syria.
The BBC also reported that a monitoring group claims at least 35 civilians and 4 militants were killed by a wave of Turkish strikes in the same area.
It is not yet clear whether the two reports relate to the same incident.
