A US drone strike in eastern Syria killed a Daesh/ISIS leader, confirmed the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) on Sunday.
A statement by CENTCOM Commander Gen. Michael Kurilla said the strike that targeted Daesh/ISIS chief Osama al-Muhajer was carried out on July 7.
No civilians were killed in the drone raid, CENTCOM said.
US military officials insist that Daesh/ISIS remains a threat, not only to the region but well beyond.
