Syria: Two Coalition F15s performed a targeted precision airstrike on a Lafarge Syria cement terminal near Kobane on the Turkish-Syrian border. Myles Caggins, Operation Inherent Resolve spokesperson, told Sputnik that the operation succeeded in its aims of “destroying an ammunition cache and reducing the facility’s future military usefulness.” The facility had been used by Coalition and Kurdish forces, and was destroyed following the removal of all personnel and ‘essential tactical equipment’ as part of the US’s withdrawal from northern Syria.
