A Turkish news agency says the U.S. led coalition has been targeting Islamic State militants in Syrian villages near the border with Turkey.
The private Dogan news agency says coalition jets on Thursday hit IS positions in the villages of Sawran, Souran, Hawar al-Nahr and Kafra.
The militant IS group and al-Qaida's Syria branch known as Nusra Front are not part of a U.S.-Russia-brokered cease-fire in Syria.
The villages lie across the border from the Turkish town of Kilis, which has been the scene of near-daily rockets and shelling from IS-controlled territory in Syria. One person was killed and several people were wounded from such rocket fire on Wednesday.
Dogan says smoke is rising from the airstrikes and that sounds of explosion and gunfire can be heard from across the border.
