A total of 12 Daesh terrorists were killed in northern Syria during an operation carried out by Turkish Armed Forces and the U.S.-led coalition, according to military sources.

Turkish military said in a statement Sunday that the Turkish Armed Forces' artillery and the coalition's air operation on Daesh targets in northern Aleppo killed 12 Daesh terrorists.

During the operations, Turkish fighter jets hit 41 Daesh targets and destroyed eight buildings and two vehicles belonging to the terror group, the statement added.

Turkey and the FSA have been focused on liberating Al-Bab from Daesh since late November as part of Operation Euphrates Shield, launched in late August to clear the terror threat along Turkey's southern border.
