Michael Fitzsimmons/iStockphoto/Thinkstock(BAGHDAD) — U.S. military forces conducted at least six more airstrikes near Kobani, Syria on Sunday night and Monday, and six more in Iraq.
According to U.S. Central Command, one of the strikes in Syria was aimed at a stray resupply bundle from Sunday’s U.S. airdrops of Kurdish arms and ammunition. In order to prevent those supplies from falling into the hands of members of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, the bundle was struck by U.S. forces.
Five other airstrikes in Syria hit ISIS fighting and mortar positions and an ISIS vehicle.
The strikes in Iraq took place near Fallujah and Bayji. Those sorties destroyed ISIS vehicles and buildings.
France and the United Kingdom also participated in the most recent strikes.
