US-led coalition air strikes killed 30 Al-Qaeda militants in western Aleppo province on Tuesday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group.

The toll came after the Pentagon confirmed eight strikes against "seasoned Al-Qaeda veterans" in the province, saying the raids disrupting "imminent attack plotting against the United States and Western interests".
