Royal Air Force aircraft, flying as part of the global coalition against Daesh, have struck further terrorist targets in support of the Iraqi ground forces, said a statement by UK Ministry of Defense.

According to the statement, RAF Tornado GR4s, Typhoon FGR4s and Reapers have flown daily armed reconnaissance missions over Syria and Iraq, conducting – in conjunction with Sentinel aircraft – extensive surveillance of suspected terrorist locations. 

They have also provided close air support to the Iraqi and Kurdish security forces as they continue offensive operations against Daesh in western and northern Iraq.

On the evening of Monday 7 March, a Typhoon patrol assisted Kurdish peshmerga fighting a group of terrorists near Kisik by attacking the Daesh position with a Paveway IV precision guided bomb.
