SOUTHWEST ASIA: U.S. and coalition military forces continued to attack ISIL terrorists in Syria and Iraq, Combined Joint Task Force Operation Inherent Resolve officials reported today.

Officials reported details of the latest strikes, which took place between 8 a.m. yesterday and 8 a.m. today, local time, noting that assessments of results are based on initial reports.

Airstrikes in Syria
Attack, fighter and bomber aircraft conducted six airstrikes in Syria:

  • Near Al Hasakah, two airstrikes struck two ISIL tactical units.
  • Near Dayr az Zawr, an airstrike destroyed an artillery system.
  • Near Kobani, three airstrikes struck two ISIL tactical units, an ISIL counter mobility berm and destroyed two ISIL checkpoints.

Airstrikes in Iraq
Attack and fighter aircraft conducted four airstrikes in Iraq:

  • Near Kirkuk, an airstrike stuck an ISIL tactical unit.
  • Near Mosul, two airstrikes struck an ISIL staging area, an ISIL large tactical unit and destroyed nine ISIL vehicles, an ISIL fighting position and an ISIL building.
  • Near Tal Afar, an airstrike struck an ISIL large tactical unit and destroyed an ISIL vehicle.

All aircraft returned to base safely.

Part of Operation Inherent Resolve
The strikes were conducted as part of Operation Inherent Resolve, the operation to eliminate the ISIL terrorist group and the threat they pose to Iraq, Syria, the region, and the wider international community. The destruction of ISIL targets in Syria and Iraq further limits the terrorist group’s ability to project terror and conduct operations.

Coalition nations which have conducted airstrikes in Iraq include the U.S., Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. Coalition nations which have conducted airstrikes in Syria include the U.S., Bahrain, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
