UK says conducted joint strike with France on IS site near Palmyra

The British Ministry of Defence said it cooperated with France on Saturday night to strike an underground facility in Palmyra, the ancient capital of Syria that had likely been used by the Islamic State (IS) group to store weapons.

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