According to U.S. Central Command, just one strike was launched against ISIS targets in Syria. That strike, targeted near the border town of Kobani, destroyed a pair of fighting positions.

Five strikes in Iraq, focused on the cities of Al Asad, Ar Rutbah, Mosul and Sinjar, destroyed six ISIS-owned boats, five buildings, a vehicle and a fighting position. Centcom says the strikes also struck two tactical units.
