The statement said 82 Daesh targets were also struck with 346 artillery rounds.



Syrian opposition forces re-took the Al Eyyubiyah residential area in Al Rai (Cobanbey) town of the northwestern Aleppo province, the statement added.



Daesh terrorists also re-took the Tal-ar area of Al Rai town as a result of a massive attack, Turkey's military said.
