Germany flies first mission against ISIS
None
The German military says it's flown its first mission in support of the coalition effort against the so-called Islamic State group in Syria.
The Bundeswehr said Wednesday that a German tanker aircraft had refueled two fighter jets in-air as they flew missions against the extremist group, the dpa news agency reported.
A German frigate is also providing protection to the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, and German Tornado reconnaissance jets are expected to begin flying surveillance missions in January.
