The US-led coalition announced that it had captured the senior leader during a raid in Syria, but did not reveal his identity, nor the exact location of the operation. 

A spokesman for the Syrian anti-Assad group in the country claimed that this was the first raid of its kind in this area.

The United States-led coalition said it captured a senior ISIS leader during an operation in Syria last night (Thursday). The senior's name was not released, but a statement from the coalition said he was "an experienced bomb maker who has become one of the organization's senior leaders".

It was further stated that no civilians were injured and no damage was done to the aircraft during the operation. According to another source, clashes broke out during the incident.
