According to CENTCOM, rocket artillery, bomber, ground-attack, fighter and remotely piloted aircraft were involved in the aerial attacks in Iraq.
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) stated that on Wednesday, the US-led coalition carried out 21 airstrikes in Iraq and three strikes in Syria against ISIS.
According to CENTCOM, rocket artillery, bomber, ground-attack, fighter and remotely piloted aircraft were involved in the aerial attacks in Iraq.
“Near Mosul, six strikes struck five separate ISIL [Islamic State] tactical units and destroyed seven ISIL assembly areas, three ISIL vehicles, an ISIL supply cache and an ISIL command and control node,” the statement noted on Thursday.
The U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Joseph Dunford held bilateral meetings with senior Iraqi officials on Wednesday ahead of an expected push by the Iraqi military to retake the city of Mosul from ISIS.
Since June 2014, Iraq has been observing ISIS terrorist activities. The US-led coalition started its operations allegedly hitting ISIS, although many believe ISIS is a creation of the west.
However, the 66-member coalition has been failing to control ISIS terrorism, when a concerted push by Iraqi forces are dealing terrorists and forcing it out of the central city of Ramadi, the capital of the western Anbar Province.
