The coalition of Turkish-backed militant groups, known as the Free Syrian Army, and the Turkish Armed Forces have took control of a number of areas in the direction of the strategic ISIS-controlled town of al-Bab in the northern Syrian province of Aleppo. The Ankara-led forces seized Musaybin, Zamkiyah and deployed in about 11 km from al-Bab.
Meanwhile, Ankara announced that Turkey’s Fırtına howitzers shot 90 ISIS targets 306 times and 5 Kurdish PKK and YPG targets 5 times. The report confirms that Ankara continues to target Kurdish forces in Syria despite a shaky US-backed truce between the YPG and the Ankara-led forces.
