The U.S. launched airstrikes on over 75 ISIS targets in central Syria, employing B-52s, F-15s, and A-10s, according to CENTCOM.

The strikes aimed to disrupt ISIS operations and prevent the group from regrouping. No civilian casualties have been reported.

Meanwhile, Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad has fled to Russia as rebels gain ground, marking a significant shift in the country’s ongoing civil war since 2011, the Daily Express has reported.

The U.S. President described Assad’s fall as a “fundamental act of justice,” while experts, including Colonel Richard Kemp, warn of the potential for Syria to become a hub for global terrorism due to access to weapons stockpiles.
