US Drone Strike Eliminates Top ISIS Leader in Syria
A U.S. drone strike in Syria killed an Islamic State leader, Usamah al-Muhajir, shortly after the drones were harassed by Russian military jets. The drones had been searching for the militant when they were subjected to two hours of harassment. This incident follows three consecutive days of U.S. complaints about unsafe and unprofessional behavior by Russian fighter jets in the region. The U.S. military confirmed that no civilians were killed in the strike, but reports of a civilian injury are being assessed.
