In Syria, Coalition military forces conducted 15 strikes consisting of 19 engagements using attack and fighter aircraft against Da’esh targets, according to a statement issued the US Central Command.

The strikes destroyed four oil pump jacks near Abu Kamal. Near Al Shadaddi, four strikes destroyed a Da’esh headquarters and a weapons facility and damaged four supply routes. Near Ar Raqqah, five strikes destroyed three tunnels, an oil pump jack and an oil wellhead. Near Dayr Az Zawr, four strikes destroyed four oil refinement stills, two oil tanker trucks, an oil wellhead and a Da’esh headquarters,'' the statement said.

In Iraq, Coalition military forces conducted nine strikes consisting of 16 engagements coordinated with and in support of the government of Iraq using attack, bomber, fighter and artillery against Da’esh targets.

Near Mosul, eight strikes destroyed four weapons caches and damaged three supply routes. Near Rawah, one strike destroyed a bunker.

These strikes were conducted as part of Operation Inherent Resolve, the operation to destroy Da’esh in Iraq and Syria. The destruction of Da’esh targets in Iraq and Syria also further limits the group's ability to project terror and conduct external operations throughout the region and the rest of the world.
