June 7th 2015: Coalition military forces continued to attack ISIL terrorists in Syria and Iraq between 8 a.m., June 6, and 8 a.m., June 7, local time. In Syria, coalition military forces conducted 11 airstrikes using bomber, attack and fighter aircraft. Separately in Iraq, coalition military forces conducted 11 airstrikes approved by the Iraqi Ministry of Defense using attack, fighter and remotely piloted aircraft against ISIL terrorists.

“The coalition is keeping the pressure on Daesh throughout Iraq and Syria,” said Col. Wayne Marotto, CJTF-OIR chief of public affairs. “The steady, continuous pressure being applied by ground forces and coalition airstrikes is degrading Daesh and clearly inhibiting their operational freedom, span of control, military capacity and fighter morale.”
