One of Saddam Hussein's former palaces in northern Iraq which was being used by Islamic State as a major training base has been bombed by the RAF.
The Mosul palace, built by the former Iraqi dictator, was attacked in a joint coalition operation on Monday.
The Ministry of Defence said initial analysis indicated the coalition mission was "successful", as Defence Secretary Michael Fallon announced the deployment of more UK troops to Iraq to support the military effort against IS.
The RAF used guided bombs to first target the headquarters of the terror group's training base, followed by a security centre, in an attack which was filmed by forces.
Aerial footage shows the bombardment of the palace with each explosive bomb strike sending giant plumes of black smoke billowing up into the sky.
The palace is annihilated until it is barely visible, masked by a massive black smokescreen.
