According to U.S. Central Command, there were 14 airstrikes in Iraq conducted by attack, fighter, bomber and remotely piloted aircraft against ISIS targets. Three airstrikes near Iraq’s second-largest city of Mosul destroyed two tactical units and a building.

Six airstrikes near the Iraqi city of Tikrit destroyed several tactical units and anti-aircraft artillery weapons, according to Centcom.

Coalition aircraft also targeted fighter positions near the western town of Fallujah.

An additional strike was made in Syria near the border town of Kobani, where Centcom says an airstrike destroyed an ISIS tactical unit and vehicle.
