NGO: US-led strikes hit IS refineries in Syria

The US-led coalition destroyed three makeshift oil refineries in militant-controlled territory in Syria early on Sunday as it pressed efforts to deny Islamic State militants funding, a monitoring group said.

The coalition strikes hit close by the Turkish frontier, near the town of Tal Abyad just across the border fence from the Turkish town of Akcakale, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
