A drone strike by the American military killed an ISIS leader in eastern Syria on Friday, US Central Command revealed Sunday.
The same three US MQ-9 Reaper drones that were being harassed by Russian aircraft last week were deployed in the attack against Usamah al-Muhajir, a senior leader of the terrorist organization, Central Command said.
“We have made it clear that we remain committed to the defeat of ISIS throughout the region,” Gen. Michael Kurilla, a Central Command commander, said in a statement.
“There are no indications that any civilians were killed in this strike and the coalition is assessing reports of a civilian injury,” the agency added.
It remains unclear where in Syria Al-Muhajir was killed, and Central Command did not give further details about the mission.
