A U.S.-led coalition drone strike Monday in northeastern Syria killed an Islamic State group militant, a Kurdish-Syrian security official said.

Speaking on condition of anonymity in line with regulations, the official told The Associated Press that the strike targeted the IS member driving a motorcycle in the village of Hamam al-Turkman.
