France says it carried out missile strikes against Islamic State in Syria

France carried out missile strikes in Syria, targeting Islamic State sites in the country, French Armed Forces Minister Sebastien Lecornu says.

“On Sunday, French air forces carried out targeted strikes against Islamic State sites based on Syrian territory,” Lecornu writes on social media platform X.

The French airstrike followed a similar military strike by the United States in Syria, which the US said had killed two Islamic State operatives.
