British, French air forces attack underground Daesh weapons store in Syria
—————————
British and French aircraft have conducted a joint strike on an underground facility in Syria that had been occupied by Daesh operatives, The Guardian reported.

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.

The facility had probably been used to store weapons and explosives, and the surrounding area was devoid of civilians, the source mentioned citing the UK Ministry statement.

Western aircraft have been conducting patrols to stop a resurgence of the extremist Sunni militant group that ruled parts of Syria until 2019.
