The US military announced last night that it had carried out numerous strikes in Syria on cells of the terrorist organization "Islamic State", Reuters reported.
""Today's strikes were carried out throughout Syria," said a statement from the US Central Command (CENTCOM) on the social platform "Ex".
It added that the attacks were carried out in the early afternoon Eastern US time. DPA specifies that it is about 18:30 Central European Time (19:30 Bulgarian Time).
According to the TV channel "Al Arabiya", quoted by TASS, the attacks also involved fighter jets from the Jordanian Air Force.
The statement does not mention whether there were any casualties in the strikes, Reuters notes. The Pentagon did not want to give the world agency more details, and the State Department has not responded to its inquiry on the case at this stage.
The attacks are part of the operation that Washington launched after a December 13 attack on American citizens in Syria, Reuters points out.
Two US military personnel were killed in it. A civilian interpreter was also killed.
In recent months, the US-led coalition has been carrying out airstrikes and ground operations in Syria against suspected members of the "Islamic State".
About 1,000 US troops are still on Syrian territory.
