The French Defense Ministry announced Sunday that French warplanes are attacking Raqqa, Syria, the Islamic State’s de facto capital. The ministry said 20 bombs were dropped on facilities, including a command center, a militant-training facility and an arms depot. The attack came a day after it was reported that the responsibility for the attacks on Paris was claimed by ISIS. Opposition activists contacted in Raqqa said the bombs hit a football stadium, a museum and medical facilities, among other things. The strikes also knocked out electricity in the city of about 200,000 people.
