A high-ranking Isis leader, Usamah al-Muhajir, was killed in Syria by a US drone strike on Friday, according to the Pentagon, despite Russian military interference. The successful strike occurred hours after Russian jets had reportedly harassed US drones.
  

Key points: 

  1. The Isis leader was targeted by a group of Reaper aircraft, which destroyed a motorcycle he was riding in the Aleppo region of Syria.
  2. The US military confirmed the operation, demonstrating its commitment to defeating ISIS in the region and globally.
  3. No civilian casualties were reported during the operation, but the coalition is assessing reports of civilian injury.
  4. Russian fighter jets reportedly harassed the US Reaper drones just hours before the strike in an almost two-hour encounter.
  5. This interference is part of a series of recent incidents involving Russian aircraft and Nato forces over Syria, with the US and French military expressing concerns over Russian jets’ “unsafe” and “non-professional” conduct.
