At least 10 Islamic State (IS) militants were killed in shelling in northern Syria by the Turkish army and air operations from the US-led coalition, security sources said on Wednesday.

Turkish artillery units on Tuesday shelled 17 IS targets as coalition warplanes conducted air operations in the region, Xinhua news agency quoted the security sources as saying.

Since mid-January, the IS has been targeting towns and cities in southern Turkey with rocket fire, killing and injuring civilians.
