The strikes, which are in support of Iraqi Security Force operations, “destroyed or damaged three ISIL Humvees, one ISIL vehicle, and multiple IED emplacements,” CENTCOM said in a statement.

The fighter and attack aircraft used in the strikes all managed to exit the area safely.

Since Aug. 8, CENTCOM says it has conducted 90 airstrikes across Iraq, 57 of which have been near the dam.
