At least 24 Daesh terrorists were killed near the northern Syrian city of Al Tabqa during the ongoing military operation of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) supported by the US-led coalition, local media reported on Sunday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – On Friday, the SDF troops managed to liberate the neighborhoods of Alexandria and Ayed al-Sageer near Al Tabqa and repelled several Daesh's counterattacks, the Firat news agency reported.

Two Daesh snipers were killed near Alexandria by the SDF troops, while 22 more terrorists were killed by the US-led coalition’s airstrikes that hit seven Daesh targets.
