In Syria, the US military killed one of the leaders of the Islamic State, Khalid 'Aydd Ahmad al-Jabouri — the US Central Command.
Khalid 'Aydd Ahmad al-Jabouri was responsible for planning terrorist attacks in Europe and developed the leadership structure of the Islamic State.
The Central Command says no civilians were killed or injured in the strike.
"The death of Khalid 'Aydd Ahmad al-Jabouri will temporarily undermine the organisation's ability to plan external attacks," the statement reads.
