The U.S. military has launched air attacks on Islamic State forces inside Syrian borders for the first time, a Pentagon official confirmed Monday night.

"U.S. military and partner nation forces are undertaking military action against ISIL terrorists in Syria using a mix of fighter, bomber and Tomahawk Land Attack missiles," said Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Admiral John Kirby in a statement around 9:40pm ET. "Given that these operations are ongoing, we are not in a position to provide additional details at this time."
