According to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), four of the strikes were in Syria, near Kobani. They destroyed fighting positions, a building and a large ISIS unit.

The other three airstrikes in Iraq destroyed two fighting positions — one south of the Bayji oil refinery and another southeast of Mosul Dam — and suppressed an ISIS attack north of Fallujah.

CENTCOM says all the aircraft used in the attacks managed to exit the areas safely.
