| US-led forces launched 11 air strikes each in Syria and Iraq since Wednesday, targeting extremist fighters, equipment and buildings, the US military said. Five of the strikes in Syria were in the contested city of Kobani near the Turkish border, where they destroyed four fighting positions, a building and a tactical unit, the Combined Joint Task Force said in a statement on Thursday. US and partner nations launched strikes near seven Iraqi cities including Mosul, Baiji and al Qaim, destroying a shipping container, tactical units, buildings, boats and land vehicles, it said. |
