The US-led coalition conducted eleven airstrikes near the Syrian city of Kobani, reports Reuters.

The strikes near Kobani, conducted since early Tuesday morning local time, hit ten Daesh tactical units, destroyed three staging positions and a fighting position, the task force said in a statement on Wednesday.

Six other airstrikes targeted cities in Iraq. 

Kurdish forces are currently pushing Daesh out of the villages surrounding Kobani after having reclaimed the city earlier this month.
