NNA – The Central Command of the US Army, quot;Centcomquot;, announcednbsp;on Sunday that it had killed a prominent leader in the Islamic State organization in a raid it launched in Syria.
The American forces launched the strike on Friday, killing the leader in eastern Syria, Osama al-Muhajir, according to the quot;Centcomquot; statement, which did not add any details about the targeted area or the killed leader and his role in the extremist organization.
The US forces added in their statement: quot;There are no indications that civilians were killed in the raid, but the coalition is looking into reports of a civilian injury.quot;
An AFP correspondent in northern Syria reported on Friday that an air strike took place near the city of Al-Bab, which is under the control of pro-Ankara factions, killing one person and wounding another.
The quot;Centcomquot; statement pointed out that MQ-9 drones carried out the raid, similar to the aircraft pursued by a Russian warplane on Thursday in Syrian airspace.
