UK, France strike suspected Daesh arms site in Syria

"Royal Air Force aircraft have completed successful strikes against Daesh in a joint operation with France,"

"This facility had been occupied by Daesh, most likely to store weapons and explosives. The area around the facility is devoid of any civilian habitation," the statement added.

The ministry said there was no indication the bombing north of the ancient site of Palmyra had posed any risk to civilians.
