Canada has carried out its first set of air strikes in Syria as part of a US-led coalition fighting against Islamic State (IS), becoming the first Nato country other than the US to do so.
Canada's Defence Minister Jason Kenney said Canadian fighter jets dropped bombs on IS position in Raqqa on Wednesday, announcing on Twitter, “Canada is helping to ensure that ISIL has no safe haven”.
The Canadian government this month extended its military deployment in Syria into 2016.
