British and French aircraft have carried out a joint strike on an underground facility in Syria that had been occupied by Islamic State, the UK Ministry of Defence<\/a> has said.<\/p>\n

Guided bombs were used to target access tunnels to the site, in the mountainous region near the ancient city of Palmyra in the centre of the country, on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

\u201cInitial indications are that the target was engaged successfully,\u201d the ministry said in a statement. Typhoon FGR4 combat jets were used to bomb the target, supported by a Voyager refuelling tanker.<\/p>\n

The facility had probably been used to store weapons and explosives, and the surrounding area was devoid of civilians, the ministry said.<\/p>\n

The defence secretary, John Healey<\/a>, said the UK was determined to \u201cstand shoulder to shoulder with our allies\u201d to \u201cstamp out any resurgence\u201d of IS.<\/p>\n

He thanked members of the armed forces involved in the operation \u201cto eliminate dangerous terrorists who threaten our way of life\u201d.<\/p>\n

Western aircraft have been conducting patrols to stop a resurgence of the Islamist militant group that ruled parts of Syria<\/a> until 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
