Turkish-backed Syrian opposition forces have taken control of six more residential areas from Daesh, according to an army statement on Sunday.
Within the scope of Operation Euphrates Shield, which began on Aug. 24 to rid Syria's northern border area of terrorists, a total of 24 Daesh targets were eliminated -- including shelters, defensive positions, command centers, weapons and vehicles.
In a statement, the Turkish Armed Forces said in northern Syria’s Al-Rai town six residential areas -- Hadji Qusah, Halise Shakira, Halise, Talca Shaqiyah, Hajar Abyad and Al-Shuayb -- were cleared of Daesh.
Two opposition fighters were martyred in clashes.
