Operation Euphrates Shield in Aleppo
Free Syrian Army forces backed by the Turkish military have seized control of the town centre of northern Syria's al-Bab from Daesh terrorists, the state-run Anadolu news agency said on Thursday.
The Turkey-backed force launched the Euphrates Shield operation in August to drive Daesh away from the Syrian border region and prevent terrorist groups from taking territory in the area.
The Turkish military has been surrounding the Daesh-controlled town of al-Bab for weeks as part of the ongoing Operation Euphrates Shield.
The Turkish-led operation, aided by the Free Syrian Army (FSA), was launched in late August to improve security, support coalition forces and eliminate the threat of terror along the Turkish-Syrian border.
