US launches airstrikes on ISIS targets in Syria after Assad regime collapse

U.S. forces launched airstrikes on over 75 ISIS targets in central Syria following the collapse of the Assad regime. The strikes involved B-52 bombers, F-15 fighters, and A-10 Warthogs, using around 140 munitions. The Assad government fell after a decade-long civil war, with major cities captured by rebel groups. Reports indicate that Assad has fled to Moscow, while U.S. officials are assessing the situation and the impact on American military presence in Syria. President Joe Biden confirmed that U.S. forces will remain in Syria to combat ISIS. The U.S. is also engaging with various Syrian groups to support the formation of a new government and monitor chemical weapons.
