At least 30 civilians were killed and many others were wounded on Sunday after Daesh launched an attack in the Syrian town of al-Bab to prevent people from fleeing, the Turkish military said in a statement on Monday.
According to sources, Daesh has been threatening civilians in al-Bab and trying to push them to stay in the city, where the roads and streets have been blocked by the terror group's barricades, Daily Sabah reported.
Daesh has set up several mine traps in the city and camouflaged them, which have killed civilians including children on a daily basis. The terror group has also opened up holes in city buildings to use them as positions while firing.
