New York- The US-led international coalition to defeat the Islamic State (IS), also know as ISIS, has started on Monday night, the Pentagon said in a statement.
The airstrikes, which are believed to be carried out without the consent of the Syrian regime, are underway, the same resource added.
“I can confirm that U.S. military and partner nation forces are undertaking military action against ISIL terrorists in Syria using a mix of fighter, bomber and Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles,” the Pentagon said in a statement.
‘The decision to conduct theses strikes was made earlier today by the U.S. Central Command commander under authorization granted him by the commander in chief. We will provide more details later as operationally appropriate,” it added.
The military campaign come a few hours after a terrorist group linked to the Islamic State in Algeria announced the kidnapping of a French national.
