"Today, at the request of the Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA), the United States military conducted precision air strikes against ISIL targets in Sirte, Libya, to support GNA-affiliated forces seeking to defeat ISIL in its primary stronghold in Libya," Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook said in a statement, which references one of the Islamic State group's acronyms.

The attack was authorized by President Obama on the recommendation of Defense Secretary Ash Carter and Join Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford, the statement says.
