ISIS targets in Syria have been hit with a barrage of US airstrikes in an attempt to wipe the terror group from the earth.
US Central Command (CENTCOM) posted on X this evening that “over 75 targets” were struck in the centre of the country, “using multiple US Air Force assets, including B-52s, F-15s, and A-10s”.
“Battle damage assessments are underway, and there are no indications of civilian casualties”, the statement said.
CENTCOM explained that “the strikes against the ISIS leaders, operatives, and camps were conducted as part of the ongoing mission to disrupt, degrade, and defeat ISIS, in order to prevent the terrorist group from conducting external operations and to ensure that ISIS does not seek to take advantage of the current situation to reconstitute in central Syria”.
Syria’s brutal President Bashar al-Assad has been forced to flee to Russia, as rebels take hold.
The country has been mired in civil war since 2011.
