Hundreds of Militants Killed As U.S. and Iraq Conduct Airstrikes

is impossible to know how many militants were killed in the U.S. airstrikes today; however, the Iraqi military claimed that over 800 militants were killed in a number of operations. Some of them may have involved U.S. forces. Only five people, civilians or security forces, were killed in other violence.

Two people were reported wounded. Several thousand Yazidis were treated for dehydration after walking to Syria, and 60 people were airlifted off Sinjar Mountain.
