RAF Typhoon FGR4s have joined forces with France's air force in a combined operation against an hidden munitions depot in Syria used by the Daesh militant organization, as stated by the UK Ministry of Defence.
The location, located using intelligence, was assessed as storing arms and explosives, the release indicated, and was situated in mountains just above Palmyra in central Syria.
"Our aircraft utilized Paveway IV guided bombs to strike a number of access tunnels down to the site... initial indications suggest the target was engaged successfully," the MoD said.
There was no indication of any civilian impact in the attack late on Saturday and all the aircraft made a safe return, the defence officials confirmed.
The Typhoon fighters were supported by a Voyager tanker plane.
IS - alternatively referred to as the so-called Islamic State - enforced militant control over large swathes of both Syria and Iraq until 2019.
"This strike demonstrates our UK leadership, and commitment to work closely with allied nations, to stamp out any re-emergence of IS and their harmful and extremist ideologies in the region," the British Defence Secretary the minister stated.
RAF aircraft have performed surveillance missions over Syrian airspace to "deter any efforts to regroup" of the group subsequent to its defeat at the Baghuz confrontation in 2019, the ministry said.
"I want to thank every member of the UK armed forces involved in this operation for their skill and their valour," Healey added. "Including them were thousands of British troops on duty over the festive period. This mission, to eliminate militants who endanger our safety, demonstrates how UK forces are ready to step up, all year round, protecting the UK within its borders and influential overseas."
In December, the United States armed forces carried out what it termed a "major assault" on IS targets in the country, following an assault claimed the lives of two US servicemembers and a civilian interpreter in Palmyra.
The U.N. reports Islamic State still boasts roughly 5-7 thousand fighters in Syria and Iraq.
