US says it conducts 14 air strikes against Islamic State near Kobani
WASHINGTON - US military fighter and bomber planes carried out 14 air strikes against Islamic State targets near the Syrian border town of Kobani on Wednesday and Thursday, the US military's Central Command said.
The air strikes appear to have slowed the militant group's advances, but "the security situation on the ground in Kobani remains tenuous," it said in a statement on Thursday.
