U.S.-led coalition jets and Turkish artillery killed 31 Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militants in Syria, Doğan News Agency reported on June 11.
The Turkish army fired howitzers at 33 targets in northern Syria to take out ISIL weapon systems as the militants prepared to shell sites across the Turkish border, Doğan said.
Nine coalition air strikes targeted two regions north of Aleppo.
About 20 people have been killed inside Turkey this year by ISIL shelling across the border. NATO member Turkey is a member of the U.S.-led coalition fighting ISIL.
