British and French warplanes have carried out a coordinated bombing raid on an underground Islamic State weapons facility in Syria, as Western allies intensify efforts to prevent the extremist group from regrouping in the war-torn country.
According to the UK Ministry of Defence, Royal Air Force Typhoon jets joined French aircraft in striking the site on Saturday evening, targeting a network of access tunnels leading to a subterranean complex near the ancient city of Palmyra in central Syria.
