Military sources have reported that Russian warplanes bombed Daesh targets in Syria's Al-Bab
Russian warplanes bombed Daesh targets in southern Al-Bab on Wednesday evening, reported military sources.
This is the first time Russia has supported the ongoing operation in Al-Bab.
The Turkish Armed Forces have been leading the Euphrates Shield Operation since late August.
The Free Syrian Army (FSA) is fighting alongside Turkey to defend Syria against terrorist groups.
As a result of the Euphrates Shield Operation, the Turkish Armed Forces and FSA have successfully advanced on Jarablus, Dabiq and Al-Bab.
Upon capturing Al-Bab, the operation will advance to Manbij to free the city from Daesh and PYD occupation. The PYD is the armed wing of the PKK, which is recognized as a terrorist organization by the U.S., the EU and Turkey.
