"Near Raqqah, 12 strikes engaged 11 Daesh tactical units and destroyed nine fighting positions, two vehicles and a tactical vehicle," the release stated on Wednesday.
In Iraq, six strikes were conducted near four cities, including Rawah and Tikrit, engaging tactical units, destroying staging areas, a vehicle storage area, and three IS-held buildings among others, the release added.
There were also nine additional strikes carried out near Raqqa on Monday that closed in the past 24 hours. Those strikes engaged Daesh tactical units, destroyed a fighting position and an IS command and control node.
The US-led coalition of more than 70 members is conducting airstrikes, ground-based and rocket-propelled artillery fire against the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. The strikes in Iraq are conducted in support of the Iraqi government, but those in Syria are not authorized by the UN Security Council or the government of President Bashar Assad.
