BAGHDAD (Dispatches) – Eight more Daesh terrorists have been killed in an airstrike in the northern province of Kirkuk, the Iraqi military say.
The Iraqi security forces conducted an airstrike on a Daesh hideout after a force from the Counter-Terrorism Service (CTS) tracked the terrorists and spotted their hideout in the province, Yahia Rasoul, spokesperson of the commander-in-chief of the Iraqi forces, said in a statement.
The airstrike killed eight Daesh terrorists and destructed the hideout, Rasoul said.
Over the past few months, Daesh terrorists have intensified attacks on the Iraqi security forces in the provinces Daesh previously controlled, leaving dozens dead and wounded.
The security situation in Iraq has been improving since the Iraqi forces defeated Daesh in 2017. However, remnants of the terrorist group have since melted into urban centers, deserts, and rugged areas, carrying out frequent guerilla attacks against the security forces and civilians.
