WASHINGTON: The Pentagon said Tuesday it launched various strikes on ISIS forces in Syria over the past several days, including hits on some targets that "may have resulted in civilian casualties."

The incidents took place Sept. 7, Sept. 10 and Sept. 12, according to a statement from CENTCOM.

It did not give a number of dead or injured.

But in the Sept. 10 raid "near Ar Raqqah (Raqqa), Syria, a strike against an ISIL target may have resulted in the death of civilians near where the strike occurred," CENTCOM said, employing a alternate term used to refer to ISIS.

On Sept. 7, a raid near Deir al-Zor, Syria, on an ISIS target struck a non-military vehicle that drove into the target area after the weapon was released from the aircraft.

And Sept. 12, a bombing near al-Shaddada, Syria, during a strike against an ISIS target another apparently non-military vehicle drove into the target area after the weapon was released from the aircraft, CENTCOM added.

Iraqi security forces, backed by coalition air power, are in the final weeks of "shaping" operations ahead of an assault to recapture Mosul, which ISIS seized in 2014 and which remains the extremists' last main stronghold in Iraq.
