The United States-led coalition conducted 16 airstrikes against Daesh targets in Iraq Saturday, and also bombed the group seven times in Syria, according to a U.S. military statement.

The strikes in Iraq landed near Ramadi, where six bombings destroyed staging areas, a vehicle and a fuel tank. The bombings also hit two tactical units which prevented Daesh from accessing to the terrain, according to a statement released by the Coalition Joint Task Force on Sunday.

The bombings in Syria were spread across the country, striking tactical units and a weapons storage area, as well as destroying structures and buildings, fighting positions, vehicles, and arms belonging to the Daesh group.
