Ministers have deployed a new weapon to combat Islamic State (IS) - a dedicated Twitter feed.
The @UKAgainstISIL account promises "updates on the UK Government's ongoing work" to defeat the terrorist group.
Since it was activated yesterday, there have been four tweets - including a link to a video arguing that Britain is playing a "leading role in the global coalition".
The footage says the UK is taking action such as "militarily removing territory from Isil" and "cutting off Isil finances".
UK forces have been carrying out airstrikes against IS - also known as Isil or Daesh - in Iraq, but MPs have not approved involvement in raids on the group's Syrian bases.
Speculation has been growing that David Cameron could stage a vote on extending military involvement when parliament returns from its summer break.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "The UK is playing an integral part in the Global Coalition's continued efforts to defeat ISIL on all fronts.
"Our new Twitter account @UKAgainstISIL has been created to inform and engage the UK public on what action the UK Government and its partners in the Global Coalition are taking to defeat this brutal terrorist group."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
