Coalition Airstrikes Target Daesh Headquarters
Footage of several recent airstrikes against Daesh has been released as operations across Iraq and Syria continue.
Coalition forces destroyed vehicle-borne IEDs near Kirkuk, Iraq (see above).
In addition, RAF Tornado GR4s struck Daesh headquarters in Syria.
Intelligence analysis pinpointed two Daesh headquarters in north-west Syria, located 10 and 25 miles north of Aleppo, near the fighting along the Mar’a Line.
A pair of Tornado GR4s were tasked with their destruction.
One of the command posts was in a very solidly-constructed building.
This was targeted with two Enhanced Paveway II 1000lb bombs (see above).
A pair of 500lb Paveway IVs were used against the second headquarters.
Both targets were destroyed by direct hits.
