officials have ruled out
In the past, Syrian officials have insisted that any strikes against the Islamic State group in the country should come only after coordination with Damascus. Without their consent, Syrian officials have said such airstrikes would be an act of aggression against Syria and a breach of the country's sovereignty.
However, U.S. officials have ruled out direct coordination with Syrian President Bashar Assad's government.
Rami Abdurrahman, who heads the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an activist group, said the airstrikes targeted the northern province of Raqqa, as well as its provincial capital.
The Observatory, which has a network of activists around the country, said the attacks came after drones flew over areas under control of the Islamic State group.
