Britain's RAF Has Taken Out Nearly 1,000 Daesh Terrorists Since Sept. 2014
14:53 GMT 30.04.2016 (Updated: 15:03 GMT 30.04.2016) About one thousand Daesh terrorists have been killed by the British Royal Air Force in 20 months period, the UK Defense Ministry said in a statement.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — About 974 Daesh (IS) militants have been destroyed by the British Royal Air Force (RAF) since September 2014, the UK Defense Ministry said in a statement.
"The UK takes all steps necessary to minimise civilian causalities…Our records show that there were no of civilian casualties for the period in question," the statement added.
"Daesh" is a designated terrorist group that has captured large areas of land in Syria and Iraq, where it proclaimed a caliphate. The terror group is outlawed in Russia, the United States and in several other countries.
Since 2014, the US-led anti-terrorist coalition, which includes the United Kingdom, has been conducting airstrikes on IS positions.
