MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to the Turkish television news channel citing military sources, the operation could last 15 days, and it aims to fully liberate Jarablus from Daesh militants and make a progress toward the jihadist group's de facto capital of Raqqa in northern Syria.

Turkish authorities announced earlier in the day that Turkish forces, alongside US-led coalition aircraft, had begun a military operation to clear the Syrian border town of Daesh militants.
