According to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), the five strikes were south of Kobani and destroyed an ISIS support building and two vehicles. The attacks also damaged a training camp and hit two ISIS units.

The bomber, fighter and remotely piloted aircraft used in these airstrikes all managed to exit the areas safely.

CENTCOM says it “continues to monitor the situation in Kobani closely. Indications are that Kurdish militia there continue to control most of the city and are holding out against ISIL.”
