WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The coalition’s airstrikes were launched near eight Iraqi towns, including Fallujah, Hit, Mosul and Sinjar, and destroyed multiple Daesh assembly areas, fighting positions, six tunnel entrances, two Daesh-used bridges as well as a number of vehicles.
“In Iraq, coalition military forces conducted 22 strikes coordinated with and in support of the Government of Iraq using ground-attack, fighter, bomber, and remotely piloted aircraft against ISIL targets,” the release said on Wednesday.
CENTCOM did not detail any actions carried out by the coalition against Daesh in Syria.
The US-led coalition of nearly 60 nations has been conducting airstrikes against Daesh first in Iraq and later Syria since 2014 — albeit without the approval of the Syrian government or the UN Security Council.
Daesh is a terrorist organization prohibited in many countries around the world, including the United States and Russia.
