France has begun air strikes against Islamic State militants known as ISIS in Iraq.
The office of President Francois Hollande says planes have carried out an attack on an IS depot in the north-east.
France is the first to follow the US's lead to destroy IS bases in an effort to contain the spread of militants declaring a caliphate in the region, who've killed thousands of civilians including Western hostages.
Friday's air strike comes a day after President Hollande said he agreed with the Iraqi authorities to give air support, but only to target IS in Iraq, not in Syria.
Our Europe correspondent Sandra Gathmann says there may be more to come:
IN: "Well the…"
