US-led forces carry out 22 airstrikes in Iraq -U.S. military

 The U.S.-led coalition fighting ISIS militants in Iraq and Syria carried out 22 airstrikes Saturday, most of them against targets near the Iraqi towns of Kisik, Ramadi and Sinjar, the U.S. military said Sunday.

A coalition statement did not report any airstrikes in Syria Saturday.

Coalition warplanes carried out eight strikes around Kisik targeting fighting positions, staging areas and a mortar and a machine gun position, the military said in a statement.

Five strikes near Ramadi hit ISIS tactical units, sniper positions, a weapons cache and a vehicle, while another five near Sinjar hit fighting positions, assembly areas and an arms cache, the military said.

Coalition planes also hit targets near Bayji, Fallujah and Mosul, the military statement said.
