BEIRUT: Five air strikes hit Islamic State-controlled territory in Syria near the Iraqi border on Wednesday, a group that tracks the Syrian war said.
Rami Abdulrahman, who runs the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, told Reuters the raids had hit the border town of Albu Kamal and surrounding areas.
It was not clear who had mounted the air raid. A US-led alliance launched air strikes on Islamic State in Syria on Tuesday. A spokesman for the US military said those strikes were “only the beginning”.
“The people there, the activists, say they (the strikes) are probably the (international) coalition, not the regime,” Abdulrahman said, referring to the Syrian government.
“The strength of the explosions are greater. Like Tuesday.” (PTI)
