Pentagon says ISIL's deputy war minister and another military leader were killed in group's Iraqi stronghold on June 25.
A US-led coalition air strike in northern Iraq killed two senior figures from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) late last month, including a commander considered to be the group's deputy minister of war, the Pentagon has said.
The June 25 air strike near Mosul, ISIL's stronghold in Iraq, killed Basim Muhammad Ahmad Sultan al-Bajari, Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said in a statement.
According to the Pentagon, Bajari had overseen ISIL's capture of Mosul in 2014.
The other ISIL member killed in the raid was Hatim Talib al-Hamduni, a military leader in Mosul, Cook added.
