– Near Raqqah, one strike struck an ISIL storage depot.
– Near Qayyarah, one strike struck an ISIL tactical unit and destroyed an ISIL weapons cache.

– Near Ramadi, five strikes struck an ISIL tactical unit and destroyed six ISIL fighting positions, two ISIL sniper positions, four ISIL heavy machine guns, an ISIL mortar position, an ISIL artillery position and two ISIL-used roads and denied ISIL access to terrain.

They involved 10 jets which were launched simultaneously from the United Arab Emirates and Jordon and were carried out in cooperation with the US.
