“Near Manbij, 10 strikes struck nine separate Daesh tactical units and destroyed six ISIL fighting positions, three Daesh vehicles, and an Daesh mortar system," CENTCOM stated on Friday.
In the beginning of June, Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), backed by the United States, have begun an offensive on Manbij to free the city from terrorists.
Meanwhile in Iraq, 10 coalition airstrikes near seven cities, including Fallujah and Mosul, destroyed Daesh command and control nodes, assembly areas and fighting positions, among other targets, the Central Command noted.
The US-led coalition of over 60 nations has been conducting airstrikes in Syria and Iraq against the Islamic State, also known as Daesh, since summer 2014. Over the past year, the coalition has reclaimed a number of cities around Mosul in a bid to choke off outside support to Daesh, outlawed in the United States and Russia.
