The U.S.-led coalition fighting Islamic State militants in Syria said it struck a mosque on Monday that was being used by the group as a command center, the second such incident in less than a week.
“A coalition strike destroyed several buildings used by Daesh to launch attacks...One of those facilities used by Daesh was a mosque that was being used as a defensive fighting position and command center,” a statement from the coalition said, using an Arabic-language acronym for Islamic State.
“The strike killed several Daesh as they were actively firing on coalition partner forces, which eliminated another Daesh capability from the battlefield,” the statement added.
The strike took place in As Susah, Syria.
On Sunday, the coalition said it had killed militants in eastern Syria by striking a mosque that Islamic State used as a base.
