London, January 4 (Xinhua) — British and French air forces carried out a joint airstrike on Saturday evening on an underground weapons depot believed to have been previously used by the Islamic State (IS) terrorist organization in Syria, the British Foreign Office said in a statement Saturday evening.
A Royal Air Force aircraft has reportedly discovered an underground facility in the mountains several miles north of the ancient city of Palmyra. The facility was likely used to store "weapons and explosives."
The British Air Force used Paveway IV guided bombs to target a series of tunnels leading to the facility. According to preliminary reports, the target was "successfully hit," the statement said.
It is added that there is no civilian population living in the area of the facility and there is no potential risk to civilians. –0–
