Britain said Tuesday it would consider more airstrikes against militants in Syria if they meant stopping likely terror attacks against British interests.
British Defense Secretary Michael Fallon made the comments to BBC Radio. He spoke a day after Prime Minister David Cameron reported that Britain's Royal Air Force killed three Islamic State militants in a drone strike last month. Two of those killed were said to be from Britain.
It was the first time that British forces have used a drone, or unmanned aircraft, to attack Islamic State fighters.
Mr. Cameron called the drone strike an act of self-defense. He also said there was clear evidence of the individuals in question planning and directing armed attacks against” Britain.
