US-Led Coalition Hits Daesh Targets in Iraq, Syria With 18 Airstrikes
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The coalition’s airstrikes in Syria were waged near two locations, al-Shadaddi and Manbij, and struck a Daesh tactical unit and a tactical vehicle.

“In Syria, coalition military forces conducted two strikes using ground-attack and attack aircraft against ISIL targets,” the release said on Friday. “Additionally 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.”

In Iraq, the coalition forces targeted sites near twelve towns, including al-Baghdadi, Mosul, Sinjar, Hit, and Fallujah. The airstrikes destroyed multiple Daesh fighting positions, rocket rails, vehicles, one bunker, as well as a Daesh-used bridge.

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.
