Apparently, the US carried out a new assassination strike in Idlib Governorate of Syria on Tuesday.

The remains of the R9X Hellfire missile were found at the scene of the strike on the road between Kafr Takharim and Armanaz in northern part of Idlib region.  

These missiles are usually launched from MQ-9 Reaper UCAVs and used during strikes on individual targets to eliminate the risk of collateral damage, as they employ kinetic warhead with blades instead of explosives

It wasn't yet confirmed who was the target of the strike.
