BAGHDAD (Operation Inherent Resolve Public Affairs) – Coalition forces detained a senior Daesh leader during an operation in Syria June 16. The detained individual was assessed to be an experienced bomb maker and facilitator who became one of the group’s top leaders in Syria.
The mission was meticulously planned to minimize the risk of collateral damage, particularly any potential harm to civilians. There were no civilians harmed during the operation nor any damage to Coalition aircraft or assets.
Coalition forces will continue to hunt the remnants of Daesh wherever they hide to ensure their enduring defeat.
