Australian warplanes have carried out their first air strike against the "Islamic State" (ISIS) terrorist group in Syria, destroying an armored personnel carrier, Defense Minister Kevin Andrews said Wednesday, according to AFP.
"This is part of our logical extension in the fight against Daesh to operate not just over northern Iraq but also to operate over eastern Syria in order to degrade and destroy Daesh Forces," the minister told reporters using the Arabic acronym for "Islamic State".
