WASHINGTON (Sputnik) The US-led coalition against the Daesh conducted 11 airstrikes in Syria and Iraq on Sunday hitting the groups’ personnel and infrastructure, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a press release.

"In Syria, coalition military forces conducted four strikes using attack aircraft against Daesh targets," CENTCOM stated on Monday.
