BAGHDAD (Dispatches) -- Iraqi security forces surrounded a group of Daesh terrorists in the Al-Danadish intersection area of Kirkuk province on Monday, as the Federal Police Command imposed an overnight curfew in Hawija district following a deadly attack on a police position.
The curfew, running from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., came after Daesh terrorists attacked a federal police site near Hawija, approximately 70 kilometers southwest of Kirkuk. 
At least one police officer was killed and four others wounded in the attack, security sources said.
Iraqi F-16 fighter jets carried out two airstrikes on Sunday evening destroying a Daesh position in the Narin area of Diyala province, the Security Media Cell said. 
The operation was based on intelligence from the Military Intelligence Directorate and coordinated with aerial reconnaissance units. The position was “completely destroyed,” though no casualty details were released.
In the Kurdistan region, the Asayish security service announced it had dismantled armed Daesh cells and arrested 22 suspects across Sulaymaniyah, Halabja, Penjwen, Khurmal and Sirwan. 
The terrorists belonged to the so-called “5th Daesh Battalion of Kurdistan” and were planning to plant explosives, monitor security forces, and establish an “emirate” in the Hawraman or Sharazoor areas. 
Weapons seized included an RPG launcher, mortar shells, hand grenades, and Kalashnikov rifles.
The attacks have renewed concerns of Daesh resurgence. Iraqi officials have acknowledged that sleeper cells remain active in remote areas of Kirkuk, Diyala, and Anbar provinces, though they maintain the group no longer poses an existential threat.
